Finding the right structure for lexicographical data: experiences from a terminology project.
In: Euralex 2006 - 12th Euralex International Congress, 6-9 September 2006, Turin, Italy.
This paper deals with issues related to the design of structures for holding lexicographical and
terminographical data, drawing from experiences gained during a terminology project. The issues
include the structural differences between a typical dictionary entry and a typical terminographical
entry, senses and concepts, semasiology and onomasiology, dictionary reversal, data conversion,
polysemy and homonymy, and the grammatical labelling of multi-word items.
