We’re back with a new post containing information about PLD members who shared their knowledge with attendees at the ATA 56th Annual Conference this year. Today we’d like to share the slides used by aviation language specialist Fernanda Silva during her session: “ANACpedia: Online Dictionaries for Aviation Terminology in Portuguese, English, and Spanish.”
Abstract:
ANACpedia, composed of Portuguese, English, and Spanish dictionaries, is designed to make aviation terminology available. The use of systems to analyze term concordance, frequency of occurrence, and representative corpus will be discussed. The establishment of conceptual relationships, the selection of textual proofs, and the development of an English>Spanish dictionary and a database composed of acronyms in Portuguese will also be covered.
