The design of terminology resources in a field such as the environment raises several difficulties and is based on different choices made by their designers. In this article, we address the issue of considering the linguistic aspects of terms (as opposed to the dominant approach in terminology, which focuses on the conceptual level). We describe some theoretical choices and the broad outlines of a method guiding the development of DiCoEnviro, Dictionnaire fondamental de l'environnement (2023). We also suggest ways of uncovering the terminological structure of the field and connecting the linguistic and conceptual levels, based on Frame Semantics (FILLMORE 1982; FILLMORE and BAKER 2010; RUPPENHOFER et al. 2016).

One of the tasks in this transduction is lexicalization, i.e., choosing the right lexical units to express a given semanteme.

This study aims to develop a flexible lexicalization module to automatically build a rich semantic dictionary for French. To achieve this, we tried two methods. The first one consisted in extracting information from the French Lexical Network, a large-scale French lexical resource, and adapting it to GenDR. The second one was to test a contextual neural language model's ability to generate potential additional lexicalizations. The first method significantly broadened the coverage of GenDR, while the additional lexicalizations produced by the language model turned out to be of limited use, which brings us to the conclusion that it is not suited to perform the task we've asked from it.},

The length of idioms also impacts CamemBERT's performance to a certain extent. The last two observations partly explain the difference between the model's performance on idioms versus simple lexemes.

The purpose of a terminological definition is to represent in natural language the most relevant knowledge associated with a term. However, the knowledge activated by a term (i.e., its meaning) varies according to the usage context. Since context is indispensable in meaning construction, it should guide terminological definition writing. Nonetheless, the recommendation is still that a terminological definition should represent a concept's necessary and sufficient characteristics, which are regarded as context-independent. This paper proposes a parametrization of the contextual constraints applicable to terminological definitions so that context can be accounted for in them. To this end, the notions of premeaning and precontext are introduced, and different types of contextual constraints (linguistic, thematic, cultural, etc.) are discussed. We argue that the conscious application of contextual constraints by the terminologist helps to produce more useful definitions and to avoid inconsistencies and biases.

Respondents (27) were asked to complete a questionnaire containing 10 different questions that assessed the association of terms with conceptual situations from different angles. Results show that respondents can associate related terms and link sets of terms to conceptual situations and can make distinctions between the different components of conceptual situations when asked to produce lists of terms or select terms from a predefined list. However, when asked to assess the similarity or difference between specific terms, respondents are less likely to produce the anticipated answer. Our findings suggest that teaching and learning activities inspired by Frame Semantics may be helpful for students to structure their terminological analysis and deal with challenges such as ambiguity and fine semantic distinctions. We hope this can ultimately contribute to helping them make informed, precise and coherent terminological choices.},
