Las relaciones entre terminología, lexicografía y tecnología en el proyecto Parole per mangiare

The relationships among terminology, lexicography and technology in the project Parole per mangiare This paper proposes some considerations on the relationship among terminology, lexicography and technology that have come up during the development of a multilingual terminology database. It contains terms about food – the topic of Expo 2015 – in nine languages. It’s a distinguishing project for different reasons: the great number of languages and fields handled; the pedagogical purpose; the lack of a client; the variety of users. Methodological choices are the result of such peculiar features. For this reason, a communicative and sociocognitive framework is complemented by a cultural approach. Our proposal is to renew specialized lexicography by using terminology and translation methods, by updating its products to user needs through a collaborative approach as well as by creating multifaceted tools for different devices.
