Type: article
Abstract: TerminoWeb is a web-based platform designed to find and explore specialized domain knowledge on the Web.An important aspect of this exploration is the discovery of domain-specific collocations on the Web and their presentation in a concordancer to provide contextual information.Such information is valuable to a translator or a language learner presented with a source text containing a specific terminology to be understood.The purpose of this article is to show a proof of concept that TerminoWeb, as an integrated platform, allows the user to extract terms from the source text and then automatically build a related specialized corpus from the Web in which collocations will be discovered to help the user understand the unknown specialized terms.
