Abstract

In science, industry and many research fields, terminology is rapidly developing. Most often, a language that is “lingua franca” for most of these areas is English. As a consequence, for many fields, domain terms are conceived in English, and are later translated to other languages. In this paper, we present an approach for automatic bilingual terminology extraction for English-Serbian language pair that relies on an aligned bilingual domain corpus, a terminology extractor for a target language and a tool for chunk alignment. We examine the performance of the method on a Library and Information Science domain. The obtained results, as well as the application that implements the method, are available on-line.
