Abstract(s)

The software prototype called e-Termite presented in this thesis focuses on building and managing corpora for specialized purposes. We establish two di erent phases in the compilation of corpora. Although these complement each other, we try to articulate their di erent processes and functions. The decision to create the prototype was made, when it was understood that there are not many software programs that help terminologists working on corpora building. Chapter 1 sets out the objectives of this thesis. Chapter 2 and 3 present the changes that have occured in Terminology and set the conceptual background for the software design. They also refer to the importance of corpora and text in the understanding of terminological units. The following chapter, chapter 4, describes e-Termite and its application through the presentation of a use case, showing the importance of the de ning criteria. In the last chapter, we summarize the limitations of the program and foresee possible applications.
