“…In particular in relation to the latter, our research represents an important addition to existing corpus-based collections of multi-word units in Slovenian (Gantar et al, 2016;Kosem et al, 2018;Ljubešić et al, 2015), which predominantly focus on units with propositional meaning. The large number of formulaic expressions with discourseorganizing and stance-marking functions identified in this research, however, confirms the need for future investigations of non-propositional multi-word expressions, as well.…”

This paper presents the identification of formulaic sequences in the reference corpus of spoken Slovenian and their annotation in terms of syntactic structure, pragmatic function and lexicographic relevance. The annotation campaign, specific in terms of setting, subjectivity and the multifunctionality of items under investigation, resulted in a preliminary lexicon of formulaic sequences in spoken Slovenian with immediate potential for future explorations in formulaic language research. This is especially relevant for the notable number of identified multi-word expressions with discourse-structuring and stance-marking functions, which have often been overlooked by traditional phraseology research.

“…No projeto DOPU, foi adotada, pela primeira vez para a língua portuguesa, a abordagem semiautomatizada para criação de dicionários (cf. Gantar et al 2016). Esta consiste na extração automática de dados do corpus e importação para o sistema de escrita de dicionários.…”

RESUMO O presente estudo tem como objetivo descrever os desafios e soluções encontrados na compilação do Corpus de Português Escrito em Periódicos - CoPEP, que contém aproximadamente 40 milhões de palavras, é equilibrado entre as variedades português brasileiro e português europeu em número de palavras e cobre seis grandes áreas de conhecimento. Primeiramente, apresentaremos o contexto de criação do CoPEP, qual seja, a elaboração de um dicionário on-line de português para universitários, para o qual serviu como fonte primária de obtenção de evidências linguísticas. Assim, foram as características desse projeto lexicográfico que informaram os critérios de criação do desenho do CoPEP e as consequentes tomadas de decisão. A seguir, descreveremos a metodologia de aquisição de dados, com foco especial nos desafios enfrentados e nas soluções encontradas. Terminaremos com a descrição da fase final de compilação, na qual aplicamos uma série de procedimentos para obtenção de equilíbrio.

“…One of the key parts of the process of creating principles that regulate dictionary making concerns defining the methodology. In the case of this proposal, it was decided to experiment, for the first time for the Portuguese language, the semi-automated approach to dictionary making, as originally put forward by Rundell and Kilgarriff (2011) and first implemented into lexicographic practice by Gantar, Kosem, and Krek (2016) in a project for making a dictionary of Slovene. In this highly innovative approach, lexical data are automatically extracted from the corpus according to predetermined criteria and transferred to the dictionary writing system (DWS), where lexicographers then analyse, validate and edit the data to shape them into the final database entry.…”

“…Finally, the extraction procedure developed by Gantar, Kosem, and Krek (2016) was adapted, with two additions that were specifically developed for this thesis. The first one was the inclusion of additional information provided by the clustering and longestcommonest match (Kilgarriff et al 2015) functions in the Sketch Engine.…”

A Design Proposal of an Online Corpus-Driven Dictionary of Portuguese for University Students

The objective of this PhD project was to propose the design of an online corpus-driven dictionary of Portuguese for university students (DOPU), aimed at both speakers of Portuguese as a mother tongue and as an additional language and covering Brazilian and European Portuguese varieties. For that, the highly innovative semi-automated approach to dictionary-making (Gantar, Kosem and Krek 2016) was adopted, which involves automatic extraction of data from the corpus and import into dictionary writing system. As a method that had never been applied for lexicographical projects of the Portuguese language, it was necessary to experiment the approach for the first time. Thus, all the required pre-requisites were newly developed, namely, a corpus of academic texts, sketch grammar, GDEX configuration, and a specially-tailored procedure for automatic extraction of data. The experiment indicated that not only can this approach be successfully used as a means to provide lexical content for the design of DOPU, but it can also be beneficial to other lexicographical projects of Portuguese.
