Project Leader : Chen Lian
Website: Phraseologia.com (currently under development)
Objectives:
To develop a digital dictionary (currently French-Chinese / Chinese-French, with plans for multilingual support) and to compile a corpus concerning phraseological units (collocations, proverbs, idiomatic expressions, puns, common expressions, etc.). The project aims to create associated databases that track the frequency of these units in various contexts (e.g., newspapers, literary works, textbooks).
To advance and improve the field of phraseological translation (focusing on overall meaning and context rather than word-for-word translation) and natural language processing (NLP), as well as phraseodidactics (introducing phraseological units into learning earlier and more regularly based on their opacity).
Scientific Activities: Conferences and publications in French, English, and Chinese.
