Abstract

This research reports on a corpus-based analysis of Memoranda of Understanding (MoU), the financial agreements between Greece and the Troika. It is part of the research activities (building lexical resources and tools for Greek language) of the Laboratory of Translation and Language Processing, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, in collaboration with the Laboratoire d’Informatique Gaspard-Monge, Université Paris-Est Marne-la-Vallée. The goal of this research is to study the properties of terms, as found in economic adjustment programmes of Greece, in order to form part of a machine-readable dictionary of Modern Greek.
