Corpus planning for Irish â dictionaries and terminology
A description of the evolution and current situation of corpus planning for Irish, which includes dictionaries, terminology and corpora
www.focal.ie terminology project
This paper presents an EU-funded project for Irish and Welsh which will be accessible from 2007 at www.focal.ie. This is a major initiative in two Celtic languages. The context and content of the Irish implementation strand are discussed here. An overview is presented of the development of terminology in Irish, and the project presented demonstrates the potential for innovation and renewal through the development of sophisticated linguistic tools for users of all levels. This paper explores some of the linguistic and editorial challenges faced by the project team. It demonstrates the need for transnational cooperation in sustaining European linguistic diversity, and a potentially pioneering role for lesser-used languages through modern communications technologies
Building on a terminology resource â the Irish experience
www.focal.ie is the national database of Irish language terminology. In this paper, we examine: (i) the impact achieved by this resource in the five year period since work commenced; (ii) the possibilities which have arisen from one project over a short time span, to develop sub-projects and related initiatives; and (iii) the advantages and opportunities arising from the creation of one high-quality electronic language resource. The Irish case shows that the development of high-quality resources for a lesser-used language can have interesting and unexpected knock-on effects.
We present eight stages and aspects of term planning: preparation/planning; research; standardisation; dissemination; implantation; evaluation; modernisation/maintenance; and training. Fiontar, in its work,has moved from its initial involvement in the dissemination of terminology, to take an active part in other aspects of term planning for Irish: research, standardisation, evaluation, modernisation and training. This has been achieved through editorial and technological development, in partnership with key stakeholders and always from a socioterminological point of view â that is, with an emphasis on terminology as an aspect of language planning and from the point of view of users in particular.
Particular projects described include Focal as a term management system and as a user resource; tools for translators; user links to a corpus; the development of a new sports dictionary; and research into subject field headings. Two related projects are the LEX legal terms project for term extraction and standardisation, and the development of terminology for the European Union
TĂ©armaĂocht don Aontas Eorpach. TaithĂ na hĂireann: Tionscadal GA IATE/ Terminology for the European Union. The Irish Experience: The GA IATE Project
Tugann an staidĂ©ar seo cur sĂos cuimsitheach ar thĂ©armeolaĂocht na Gaeilge i gcomhthĂ©acs fheidhmeanna aistriĂșchĂĄin an Aontais Eorpaigh. ThĂĄinig riachtanais phrĂĄinneacha tĂ©armaĂochta Gaeilge chun cinn in 2007 nuair a tugadh stĂĄdas teanga oifigiĂșil de chuid an AE don Ghaeilge. TrĂĄchtann an staidĂ©ar seo ar an bhfreagairt a tugadh ar na riachtanais sin, agus cuireann sĂ© an obair i gcomhthĂ©acs na hoibre tĂ©armeolaĂochta a rinneadh i gcĂĄs theangacha ânuaâ eile an AE, teangacha a bhain amach stĂĄdas oifigiĂșil in 2004 agus in 2007.
Tugtar mioneolas ar IATE, comhbhunachar sonraĂ ilteangach fhorais agus chomhlachtaĂ an AE agus leagtar bĂ©im ar leith ar rĂłl thrĂ mhĂłrinstitiĂșid an AE, an CoimisiĂșn, an Chomhairle agus an Pharlaimint.
Is Ă© Fiontar, Ollscoil Chathair Bhaile Ătha Cliath, i gcomhairle le rannphĂĄirtithe an tionscadail in institiĂșidĂ an AE agus i seirbhĂs phoiblĂ na hĂireann, a thiomsaigh an staidĂ©ar.
***English*** This study provides a comprehensive description of Irish-language terminology for the purposes of European Union translation work. An urgent need for Irish-language terminology arose in 2007 when Irish became an official EU language. This study documents the response to that need, and places it in the context of terminology work in other ânewâ EU languages which gained official status in 2004 and 2007.
IATE, the shared multilingual terminology database of the EU institutions and bodies, is described in detail, with particular emphasis on the role of the three major EU institutions, Commission, Council and Parliament.
The study was compiled by Fiontar, Dublin City University, in consultation with project participants in the EU institutions and the Irish public service
