| Abstract | A research has been carried on and is still in progress aimed at theconstruction of three specialized lexicons organized as databases of relational type. The three databases contain terms belonging to the specializedknowledge fields of maritime terminology (technical-nautical and maritimetransport domain), taxation law, and labour law with union labour rules,respectively. The EuroWordNet/ItalWordNet model was firstly used to structure theterminological database of maritime domain. The methodology experimented forits construction was applied to construct the next databases. It consists in i)the management of corpora of specialized languages and ii) the use of genericdatabases to identify and extract a set of candidate terms to be codified inthe terminological databases. The three specialized resources are describedhighlighting the various kinds of lexical semantic relations linking each termto the others within the single terminological database and to the genericresources WordNet and ItalWordNet. The construction of these specializedlexicons was carried on in the framework of different projects; but they can beseen as a first nucleus of an organized network of generic and specializedlexicons with the purpose of making the meaning of each term clearer from acognitive point of view. |
