Vergleichbare Fachsprachenkorpora und die Vermittlung von Kollokationen in DaF am Beispiel des Projektes TermiKnowledge

Corpora can give new impulses to the analysis of special languages, which play an increasingly important role in GFL teaching; moreover, they can close the gap left by deficient teaching materials. Their use proves to be advantageous in the study of special language collocations too, which represent a particularly difficult phenomenon in (foreign) language learning. This article represents a first attempt to reflect on collocations in the COVID-19 discourse. The considerations presented are based on the data extracted and analysed within the 4EU+ project Knowledge through Terminology - From Multilingual Data to Domain-specific Know-ledge via Terminological Resources (TermiKnowledge) with the aim of developing of a multilingual corpus-driven online specialised dictionary on COVID-19.
