General Language Resources: Lexica

When dealing with tools for linguistic text processing, the language resources, i.e. dictionaries are necessarily a central issue. In this chapter we will present the idea of reusable lexical resources, as it has been proposed and is being carried out in the ESPRIT project MULTILEX. In the second part we will give more information on a dictionary for the special purpose language of law, commerce, and finance, as it is implemented in the present PC Translator’s Workbench.
