Abstract
The role and importance of methods for lexical knowledge elicitation in the area of multilingual information processing, including machine translation, computer-aided translation and cross-lingual information retrieval is undisputable. The usefulness of such methods becomes even more apparent in cases of language pairs where no appropriate digital language resources exist. This paper presents encouraging experimental results in automatically eliciting bilingual lexica out of Greek-Turkish parallel corpora, consisting of international organizations’ documents available in English, Greek and Turkish, in an attempt to aid multilingual document processing involving these languages.
