This article explores the diachronic semantic evolution of mental health vocabulary, focusing specifically on the concept of hysteria across Spanish and German specialised corpora. Drawing on Diachronic Prototype Semantics, the paper examines how semantic changes reflect shifts in radial, hierarchical networks where meanings are updated according to communicative needs. The key methodological...

This study explores the potential of collaborative dictionary compilation to promote vocabulary retention and contributes to research in Chinese heritage language education. A pilot intervention was conducted with 22 second-generation Chinese students attending a complementary school in Italy. The participants studied literary vocabulary from Lu Xunโs Village Opera and collaboratively...

Recent research in lexicography has shown that the integration of generative AI into dictionary-making can work well for bilingual tasks (Chen, 2025; de Schryver, 2025; Han & de Schryver, 2025). The present research presents a corpus-based study of ChineseโEnglish parallel business news and explores its implications for bilingual business lexicography in the age of AI. The study is based on a...

In postcolonial societies, language often functions as both a site of power and resistance, a reality profoundly exemplified by Camfranglais in multilingual Cameroon. As Foucault (1978, pp. 95โ96) argues, power inevitably generates resistance, and in Cameroon this resistance manifests linguistically through a hybrid sociolect that disrupts inherited colonial hierarchies. Emerging in the 1970s...

Earlier multilingual dictionaries of sports terminology that include French and Serbian were largely based on simple translations from foreign sources, without systematic terminological analysis whereas more recent works do not include French. To be able to address this gap and compile a reference dictionary, we first need to identify the optimal methodology for the compilation of this type of...

This paper presents the methodological framework for building the Similes Repository for Contemporary Serbian (Simili-SR), a corpus-based linguistic resource designed for the collection, annotation, and analysis of similes in contemporary Serbian. The study presents a multi-stage extraction and validation pipeline based on the genre-balanced corpus SrpKor2021+ of the *Reference Corpus of...

A distinguishing feature of English dictionaries for learners is that most entries include example sentences or phrases that have been copied or adapted from corpora. Their function is to reinforce meaning by showing how words have been used in context, prioritising typical grammar patterns and lexical collocations (Fox 1987; Frankenberg-Garcia 2014; Frankenberg-Garcia, Rees and Lew 2021)....

When non-specialist users consult general dictionaries to understand legally significant terms, they risk encountering definitions that are fundamentally incomplete. This study introduces a reproducible computational methodology to quantify the level of semantic reduction and explore AI tools to resolve it. Five socio-legal terms were examined from the Cambridge Dictionary, Oxford English...

Presently in its preliminary phase at the Research Centre for General and Applied Linguistics at the University of Coimbra (CELGA-ILTEC), the dictionary of pluricentric Portuguese project seeks to develop an online dictionary that documents the usage of Portuguese across diverse global contexts. Considering the socio-historical complexities inherent to the Portuguese language area (Faraco,...

The study identifies the emotional profiles of verbs of understanding and demonstrates their relevance for corpus-driven lexicography, contributing to corpus-based research on emotivity and offering implications for lexicographic description. The paper examines the interaction between understanding and emotion as reflected in the contextual behaviour of English verbs of understanding and...

Speakers may need to consciously assess which expressions are appropriate for a communicative situation. One such dimension is indexicality: linguistic expressions may evoke the situational contexts in which they are typically employed. In a usage-based understanding, these indexical potentials emerge from recurrent co-occurrence between linguistic forms and situational features and become...

This paper investigates whether large language models can perform semantic clustering and categorisation of constructional collexemes to support the analysis of constructional meaning and the organisation of collexemes within constructicon entries. As a case study, we examine the collexemes of the Estonian Nominal Quantifier Construction, identified from lexicographic and corpus data. Using...
