Abstract

This work aims to provide a useful tool to translators, linguists and students who want to study and find equivalences of idioms and proverbs in different languages. The goal is to create an extensive multi-word expressions and proverbs corpus, overcoming the main problem of their classification, thanks to hypertext and key-word based search: a synthesis of a glossary and a forum, easily consulted; open to each external contribution, in regard to the changeable nature of such linguistic heritage.
