Diccionario de Arquitectura_ES-Dictionnaire d'Architecture_FR

Abstract

The Diccionario de Arquitectura_ES – Dictionnaire d’Architecture_FR is a bilingual Spanish–French lexical resource focused on contemporary architecture. It has been designed as a structured database that combines linguistic and conceptual information, aiming to support both academic research and professional practice in architecture and related fields.

The dictionary is based on two parallel corpora of Spanish and French texts from the last 20 years (academic publications, professional reports, specialized magazines, and digital resources). Key lexical units were extracted automatically using NLP tools, then enriched through semantic relations (hyperonyms, synonyms, collocations) and bilingual alignment.

Entries follow the TEI-LMF encoding model, ensuring interoperability and compliance with current standards for digital lexicography. Each entry includes:

Linguistic information: lemma, part of speech, gender, and grammatical features.

Conceptual information: definitions from specialized dictionaries and online resources.

Usage examples: extracted from the corpora to illustrate real usage.

Cross-references: links to translations, equivalent concepts (e.g. DBpedia, WordNet), and related entries.

Multimodal enrichment: images and figures when relevant.
