Title From a Dictionary to a Constructicon – Putting the Basics on the Map
Abstract This study discusses the possibilities of expanding the scope of the largest Estonian dictionary – the EKI Combined Dictionary – with various types of constructional information. Designing a representation of constructions essentially means building a constructicon. The study starts with a short overview of existing constructicons and the main challenges their creators have faced so far. We address these issues from the point of view of data model reorganisation and database restructuring. Extending the lexicographic resource with constructicographic information is twofold: the existing constructional information must be migrated into a new model and then complemented with additional constructions extracted from a corpus.
