Terminology, corpora and language resources
This research area covers a range of projects within terminology and corpus linguistics, applied linguistics and specialised communication. Our research pertains especially to topics relevant for economics, business administration and law.
We have established a unique environment for research in specialised communication in Norway, the Nordic region and Europe.
We are active in developing monolingual and multilingual language resources and utilising them in empirical research within specialised communication. Most of these resources are available to the public for a variety of purposes.
The research comprises both theoretical and applied approaches and utilises a broad spectrum of language resources:
- Research on strategic and political communication
- Research on specialised translation
- Statistical approaches to textual data analysis
- Research on word and term formation, borrowing and neology, and linguistic creativity
- Research on communication about migration and poverty
- Popular science and news research
- The Terminology Portal – a national infrastructure for terminology in Norway
