The aim of the thesis is to compare advantages and
disadvantages of glossary-making procedure that is based on
three comparable corpora. The corpora differ not only in
compilation method, but mainly in their purpose of the content.
The most controversial issue is the use of translations as a
source for corpus compilation, but its use has its particular
purpose in this case. Such corpus-based glossaries will be
further used for translation of a specific language – language
of climbing and mountaineering. The hypothesis that an
efficient glossary can be created if extracted terms and
keywords are compared has not been entirely validated, because
some glossary entries needed to be sought via concordancer or
within other glossaries.
