Glossaries

Introduction

Glossaries are specialised dictionaries that contain domain-specific terminology and/or expressions. There are thirty-two glossaries in the CLARIN infrastructure. Most (twenty-two) of the glossaries are multilingual, accounting for 14 language combinations (e.g. English-Greek, English-French), while ten are monolingual, accounting for six languages (Dutch, English, Estonian, Greek, Slovenian, Swedish). In the vast majority of the cases, the glossaries can be directly downloaded from the national repositories or queried through easy-to-use online search environments.

For comments, changes of the existing content or inclusion of new resources, send us an email.
