Sažetak
The categories of specialized knowledge have been defined in terminology work as complex conceptual networks in which concepts are connected by ontological relations. With the emergence of Frame-based Terminology (Faber 2012) that applies Frame Semantics (Fillmore 1985), it has become evident that specialized knowledge can be more adequately defined by using semantic frames as conceptual structures that allow for a precise description of both semantic content and its corresponding lexical units. Apart from few suggestions of automatic utilization of semantic relations (León-Araúz, San Martín and Faber 2016), the construction of semantic frames still relies heavily on semiautomatic corpus based methods and manually analysed data. A dynamic terminological description of a specialized domain that takes into account conceptual metaphors, variation and polysemy as integral components of specialized knowledge needs to be based on a rigorous linguistic analysis, but can benefit greatly from an automatic linguistic description such is offered by the word sketches (Kilgariff et al. 2014). The paper gives an analysis of several semantic frames in the domain of music (e.g. PITCH, KEY, HARMONY, SCALE, TEMPO) that are defined based on the word sketches of key musical terms extracted from an English corpus of scientific papers and textbooks in music theory. The analysis is carried out in order to test the reliability of the linguistic information in word sketches as opposed to the information extracted by a common terminological practice of analysing concordances and knowledge-rich contexts. Frame elements are defined following the FrameNet methodology, which has been adapted, where necessary, to better reflect the nature of specialized knowledge categories. To evaluate the relevance of data in word sketches, the terms used for extracting word sketches are analysed in corpus concordances, and additional relevant information is marked accordingly. The results show a high level of reliable conceptual and linguistic information that can be acquired from the corpus analysis based on word sketches. The carried terminological analysis is followed by expert validation to account for possible lack of relevant information. The research is conducted within the project Problems of basic contemporary musical terminology in Croatia (CONMUSTERM).
