Title: The corpora: a tool for the examples of specialized words
Abstract: This investigation intends for the showing of the corpora role in the examples presentation, which complete the definitions of specialized words. During my dissertation I found out in the common as well in the scientific and technicall dictionaries a deficiency of examples, which could help to the better understanding of the specialized vocabulary. For the proof of the specialized word and in the case that was not available an example in the dictionaries, I had to look at the corpus of the Language Processing Institute in Athens for the Greek indices and at that of the German Language Institute in Mannheim for the German indices. I noticed that the corpora in contrast to the dictionaries provide a big variety of examples for rare words, words with a high degree of specialization, with the same meaning in different specialized subjects and contemporary words, which have been created the last years to express new ideas of the science and technology. Finally I attempt to compare the Greek and German corpus through the examples presentation.
