Abstract

This chapter deals with the processing of a multilingual corpus of technical texts, that is a collection of texts translated into several languages. The aim is to elaborate an adequate method for the acquisition of lexical knowledge, especially terminological knowledge, from a text corpus. A method has been developed that combines techniques and tools for symbolic processing with statistic filters. The application of the method to such a corpus resulted in a tool suitable for the semi-automatic extraction of terms and some other lexical and semantic properties, e. g. translation equivalences, semantic relations between terms or typical contexts of terms.
