5. ResultsIn the preceding chapter we proposed a methodology for selecting and describingspecialized verbs as well as for assigning their equivalents. In this chapter, we present theresults and draw considerations on the three main units of analysis: the terms, the framesand the equivalents. This chapter should reflect the semasiological, bottom-up and bilingualapproach of the research. Thus, we start by focusing on the 200 terms that we selected froman automatically extracted list of candidate terms (section 5.1.). This first part is subdividedin two parts in which we describe the Portuguese terms (section 5.1.1.) and the Englishterms observed (section 5.1.2.). Then, in the second part of the chapter, we give details onthe frames that were identified, on their participants, on the number of terms that they cangroup together as well as on the relations between the terms grouped in the frames (section5.2). As we consider frames as interlingual representations, the second part of the chapter isnot divided into a Portuguese and an English section. In this subchapter, more Englishexamples than Portuguese ones are provided for the reason of convenience for the reader.Finally, we describe the equivalents that were assigned (section 5.3) and present the currentstate of the bilingual lexical resource JuriDiCo (section 5.4). At the end of each sub-chapterthe results obtained are discussed.5.1. Terms observedThis sub-chapter presents the results concerning the selection and validation of terms. Thefirst part concentrates on the Portuguese terms (section 5.1.1.) whereas the second partconcentrates on the English terms (section 5.1.2). Each part presents the candidate termsthat were eliminated as well as the candidate terms that were selected based on what wasdescribed in the second part of chapter 4. At the end of the sub-chapter we discuss theresults obtained (section 5.1.3).
