In Natural Language Processing (NLP) domain, a lexical database, i.e. a systematic stock of words of a natural language, is a crucial component of a wide variety of NLP applications. In this paper, we present the interlingua used in the construction of the bilingual lexical database called REBECA, one of the few lexical resources that encompasses Brazilian Portuguese (BP) language. The interlingua is the core feature of REBECA and it is composed of a set of concepts which allows the alignment of the English and BP monolingual databases. Precisely, we present: (i) the composition; (ii) the structure, (iv) the formalism, and (v) the editing tool used to develop REBECA. . As a result, we obtained a formal and hierarchical interlingua, which allowed a proper link between the monolingual databases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
