Building the Dictionary of Football Terminology Through Data-Driven and Ontolex Model

Abstract

This paper investigates the innovative approach of developing a dictionary of football terminology through the application of data-driven methodology. Using traditional approaches of dictionary creation means sequentially written entries and manual analysis of corpora which can be very time consuming. Our approach uses the techniques of computational linguistics and automatization in order to increase the speed of process of dictionary creation. The Digital Dictionary of Football Terminology which we have developed is meant for both human and software application use, giving users a fast approach, the possibility of constant updating as well as the integration with different digital resources. This paper focuses on the Serbian Language section of the Serbian-Spanish Dictionary of Football Terminology which is developed within the doctoral dissertation of Jelena Lazarevic.
