A variational linguistics approach to term extraction

This paper describes how a toolset developed for the purposes of variational linguistics to identify regional variants, can be used in the field of term extraction. The notion of stable lexical marker will be introduced as a method to quantify centrality and dispersion of terms in a specialised domain. As such, the work is a continuation and expansion of so called contrastive approaches to term extraction. The Belgian legal domain will serve as a case study. ispartof: pages:229-248 ispartof: Proceedings TKE 2010: presenting terminology and knowledge engineering resources online: models and challenges (on cd-rom) pages:229-248 ispartof: TKE 2010: Presenting Terminology and Knowledge Engineering Resources Online: Models and Challenges location:Fiontar, Dublin City University, Ireland date:12 Aug - 13 Aug 2010 status: published
