Abstract

This paper reports on particular aspects of ongoing research funded by the National University Research Council and conducted by an interdisciplinary team of academics from Transilvania University of Brasov, Romania, of which the authors of the present contribution are members. Based on the results yielded by a large-scale survey of seventy online bilingual/multilingual dictionaries involving the English and Romanian domains, we begin with an assessment of the status quo in the area of glossaries and dictionaries available on the internet; we then focus on one particular aspect of dictionary design, i.e. the development and operation of a flexible, customizable scanner-parser that we designed with a view to optimizing the work associated with data collection and dictionary compiling.
