MIGRATION AND THE MEDIA is a corpus-based research project which studies how media outlets, particularly newspapers, linguistically frame migrants and migration. The automated retrieval of linguistic features allows for a reliable analysis of semantic and pragmatic properties assigned to migrants across different newspaper articles. One of the main aims of this project is to ascertain whether migrants are presented in a way that influences their process of integration into their host societies.

The Mikroøkonomen terminology project developed a termbase consisting of 800 term records in the field of microeconomics (English-Norwegian).

This has become a useful resource for students, lecturers and researchers of economics to bridge the gap between the literature written in English and the users’ need to acquire equal competence in Norwegian. Mikroøkonomen has since been further developed in the project NHH Termbase.

The Mikroøkonomen project (completed 2008) received funding from the Research Council of Norway and NHH.

The KB-N project developed a concept-oriented text and term based knowledge management system for economic-administrative domains.

The project included language technology applications for use primarily within translation, documentation and publishing. It incorporated a 30-million-words parallel corpus of Norwegian and English economic-administrative texts from about 30 subdomains, as well as a bilingual termbase of some 8,400 term records. As part of the project an automatic term extractor module for Norwegian was developed.

The 3-year KB-N project (completed 2006) was funded by the Research Council of Norway within its KUNSTI programme for language technology.

CLARA (Common languange resources and their applications) was an EU-funded project that carried out research on theoretical, methodological and technical topics relating to the task of harmonising language resources and terminology for professional domains.

Professional knowledge domains, such as economy, energy and medicine, present special challenges to correct understanding, especially across languages.

In this project a large corpus of English and Spanish Free Trade Agreements was compiled and experiments were performed with semi-automatic extraction of term candidates and specialised collocation candidates.

The work focused specifically on parallel corpora, computational terminology and phraseology.
