LexALP

Legal Language Harmonisation System for Environment and Spatial Planning within the Multilingual Alps

LexALP aims at supporting cross-border cooperation by creating innovative approaches for the harmonisation of legal terminology in several languages. The final goal is to support a clear and efficient communication across borders so as to contribute to a balanced and uniform development of the Alps.

LexALP has tested and developed ad-hoc methods and tools to compare 6 legal systems (Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland and Slovenia) and more than one supranational system (EU legislation, International law and the specific regulatory frame of the Alpine Convention) in the field of spatial planning and sustainable development. The result of these in-depth analyses will be harmonised terminology collections in the four official languages of the Alpine Convention, namely French, German, Italian and Slovene. All tools and data are freely available online within the LexALP Information System.

Multilingual legal terminology on the Jibiki platform: The LexALP project

Sérasset G, Brunet-Manquat F, Chiocchetti E

Elena Chiocchetti

This paper presents the particular use of "Jibiki" (Papillon's web server development platform) for the LexALP project. LexALP's goal is to harmonise the terminology on spatial planning and sustainable development used within the Alpine Convention, so that the member states are able to cooperate and communicate efficiently in the four official languages (French, German, Italian and Slovene). To this purpose, LexALP uses the Jibiki platform to build a term bank for the contrastive analysis of the specialised terminology used in six different national legal systems and four different languages. In this paper we present how a generic platform like Jibiki can cope with a new kind of dictionary. ? 2006 Association for Computational Linguistics.

The LexALP Information System: Term Bank and Corpus for Multilingual Legal Terminology Consolidated

Standard techniques used in multilingual terminology management fail to describe legal terminologies as they are bound to different legal systems and terms do not share a common meaning. In the LexALP project, we use a technique defined for general lexical databases to achieve cross language interoperability between languages of the Alpine Convention. In this paper we present the methodology and tools developed for the collection, description and harmonisation of the legal terminology of spatial planning and sustainable development in the four languages of the countries of the Alpine Space.
