Adapting dictionary writing systems and other platforms to online dictionaries of idioms – Jelena Parizoska

Being an avid dictionary user herself, Jelena Parizoska wrote her PhD on the ‘variability of verbal idioms in English and Croatian within the cognitive linguistic framework.’ To learn how to incorporate certain features into the Online Dictionary of Croatian Idioms, she applied for a research grant to visit the Jožef Stefan Institute in Slovenia.

Jožef Stefan Institute (JSI)

is the leading research institution for natural sciences in Slovenia having over 900 researchers within 25 departments working in the areas of computer science, physics, and chemistry and biology.

Visiting researchers will benefit from having access to all of the resources and services at JSI and in CLARIN.SI, as well as to the resources of the Centre for Language Resources and Technologies at the University of Ljubljana (an institution with an observer status in ELEXIS).

The resources range from lexical databases, dictionaries, reference, specialised and training corpora, to language technologies such as part-of-speech taggers, parsers etc.

Visiting researchers will also have at their disposal the expertise of researchers such as Simon Krek, Tomaž Erjavec, Marko Grobelnik and Dunja Mladenič, who are internationally acknowledged experts in their respective fields.

The main departments involved in ELEXIS and thus offering support to visiting researchers are

the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory,
one of the largest European research groups working in the areas of machine learning, data mining, language technologies, semantic technologies and sensor networks, the Centre for Knowledge Transfer in Information Technologies,

and

the Department of Knowledge Technologies,
which is a recognised centre of research on language technologies, computational linguistics, corpus linguistic, and digital humanities.

Jožef Stefan Institute has been involved in the compilation of the majority of existing Slovene mono- and multilingual corpora, the development of manually annotated corpora for training language annotation tools, the development of the tools, such as part-of-speech taggers, lemmatisers, parsers and named entity recognisers and in work on standardisation of linguistic encoding in the scope of TEI and ISO.

It is also the home of the Slovene research infrastructure CLARIN.SI, a member of the CLARIN ERIC.

Existing tools and services include:
