| Abstract: |
The contribution describes a methodology for encoding and organizing collocations in a French terminological database. First, we will review previous work - i.e., specialised dictionaries and a term bank that take into account lexical combinations - in different fields: e.g., stock exchange, business, Internet. Second, we will present our own methodology based on that devised within Explanatory Combinatorial Lexicology (ECL) (Mel'cuk et al. 1995; 1984-1999). We will propose a definition of "collocation" and examine some of its repercussions on the kinds of lexical combinations that appear in our dictionary. We will then show how collocations are listed and described in the entries. The description takes into account three linguistic properties of collocations: 1) their syntactic structure; 2) their general meaning; and 3) the role played by actants (i.e., arguments). Finally, we will show how explanations can be adapted so as to be more user-friendly. |
