Creating parallel and comparable corpora for work in domain specific areas of language

Linguateca - Porto More immediate objectives

• To construct comparable and parallel corpora in Portuguese and English using:
• Texts in special domains already being investigated
• Adding corpora from special domains as and when the opportunity arises
• To construct the necessary computational framework for using the corpora for research
• To make these corpora as widely available as the respective copyright situation permits

Linguateca - Porto Longer-term objectives

• To extend the notion of comparability to:
• genre-specific corpora
• restricted general language corpora
• To construct integrated networks of comparable corpora
• To extend these objectives to other languages
• To contribute to similar projects elsewhere
