“…Initially, the n-grams established adjective-noun phrases with the internal morphological structure X-Suff^j. N. The morphological structure was the result of the analysis conducted by the MPRO system (Maas et al 2009;Maas 1996),^ anda subsequent disambiguation by a shallow syntactic parsing performed by the KURD system (Carl and Schmidt-Wigger 1998). Through statistical filtering these term candidates were further reduced on account of their domain-specificity.…”

This paper evaluates the possibilities of recognizing term candidates through their formal and semantic characteristics. From a cognitive-linguistic stance, the semantic motivation of the word-formation patterns of collocations and compounds in domain-specific texts is assumed to promote their termhood. The semantic motivation to integrate into a multi-word unit is assumed to originate in the generally agreed on generic reference of the modifying constituent. This hypothesis is investigated empirically in a corpus-linguistic experiment. Term candidates instantiating different derivational patterns of adjective-noun constructions have been manually sorted by experts into approved and non-approved terms. Our subsequent linguistic categorization into the morpho-semantic constructions instantiated by the term candidates could be verified quantitatively in terms of relative frequencies. These frequencies clearly divide the term candidates into instances of term-promoting and term-impeding constructions. Obviously, the experts have approved the terms of those constructions which come up with a high relative frequency in the corpus.

“…On a practical level, the inventories and descriptions of word-forming patterns set up within the framework of contrastive word-formation studies may be relevant to the field of natural language processing to improve machine-aided translation systems and the automatic alignment of bi-texts (Kraif 2001) or to develop multilingual morphological analysers (Deléger et al 2007;Maas et al 2009), which are still sorely lacking (see e.g. Roark and Sproat 2007 for an overview of the computational approaches to morphology).…”

This paper proposes an exploratory bird's-eye view of contrastive word-formation research, an area which, to date, remains largely under-researched in the three fields in which it partakes, namely morphology, contrastive linguistics and lexicology. Studies in contrastive word-formation, as well as their meta-analysis in terms of scope, objectives and data, are presented in a critical survey of the literature, together with an extensive bibliography . A new contrastive methodology for future research is looked into and the major practical applications of contrastive word-formation in bilingual lexicography and translator training, among others, are overviewed. Contrastive wordformation, it is argued, should be set within a more rigorous theoretical and methodological framework, which would be characterised by a dynamic conception of the tertium comparationis and the use of empirical data drawn from multilingual corpora.Contrastive word-formation is at the intersection of two major areas: wordformation (which is encapsulated in the broader fields of morphology and lexicology) and contrastive linguistics. 1 It is now gradually emerging as a field of * This paper was first presented at the English Word-Formation in Contrast seminar of the 10th Conference of the European Society for the Study of English (Università degli Studi di Torino, Italy). I am greatly indebted to two anonymous reviewers for their insightful comments on the first draft of this paper. 1 Morphology is here viewed as "the branch of linguistics that deals with words, their internal structure, and how they are formed" (Aronoff and Fudeman 2005: 1-2).
