Abstract

This paper represents the procedure of creating a legal domain corpus in NooJ. It illustrates a primary analysis of the corpus including automatic text processing, emphasizing its main linguistic peculiarities, and analyzing prosodic characteristics of legal texts which is necessary for syntagmatic delimitation. It also depicts the compilation composition of three dictionaries in NooJ format: general, legal, and Belarusian-English-Russian dictionaries.
