Symposium. New Approaches to Discourse Analysis

SciE-Lex is a lexical database of the most usual collocations of English non-technical words used in scientific language. This lexical database gives information about the meanings and the grammatical and collocational patterns of general words used in scientific English.

SciE-Lex was prompted by the shortage of reference tools offering such information, since dictionaries of scientific terms usually provide information about the meaning of specialized words and/or their equivalents in other languages.

SciE-Lex: Second Stage

While in its first stage, SciE-Lex provides contextual information on usage as well as the combinatorial potential of words commonly used in scientific registers, in a second stage, and in line with new trends in corpus and phraseological studies, SciE-Lex is supplemented with formulaic expressions and provides explicit information about their variability, composition, function and textual distribution.

In a second stage, we include prefabricated expressions which contribute to:

	the characterisation of the prototypical phraseology of scientific genre
	the structural organisation of the discourse

Information included:

	Variability
	Text distribution
	Discourse function
	Notes of usage
