An interdisciplinary methodology for developing specialised lexicons with simplified definitions in plain language. It aims to simplify terminology to meet the comprehension needs of non-expert users.
The expertise of the Neolcyt research group, with 30 years of experience, is built on five key pillars:
- Focus on plain language: One of the group’s main goals is to make specialised languages accessible to a wide audience. The simplified definitions in plain language from the DiPAP resource are one example.
- Historical and philological research: The group analyses specialised lexicons from a historical perspective, covering the period from 1884 to 1936. This approach helps to understand the evolution and adaptation of scientific terms in Spanish, highlighting the lexical innovation of the era.
- Interdisciplinarity: The group combines knowledge from philology, the history of science, and exact sciences, as well as web expertise. This comprehensive approach allows for a deep, contextualised understanding of the lexicon, facilitating a precise and enriched interpretation of terms.
- Panhispanic perspective: The focus on the linguistic diversity of Spanish across different Spanish-speaking countries ensures that the resources developed are inclusive and representative of the various forms of Spanish.
- Tekné Digital Platform: Neolcyt has developed the Tekné Digital Platform, which hosts essential tools for lexicographical research (DiccioTerm, CorpusPAP, and DiPAP).
