Verso un dizionario corpus-based del lessico dei beni culturali: procedure di estrazione del lemmario

The vocabulary of Italian cultural heritage has become a crucial object of interest for different categories of users from a number of countries. However, there are no satisfactory multilingual lexical resources available. The present work moves in that direction. The aim of the paper is twofold: on the one hand, it describes the LBC database, a resource for developing a multilingual electronic dictionary of the cultural heritage, made up of comparable corpora for nine languages; on the other hand, a corpus-based method for building a comprehensive headword list is proposed.
