Cuestiones pertinentes e impertinentes de los Diccionarios Temáticos

The Dictionaries in general, and in particular the thematic ones, have represented the thread of my career in the Istituto di Linguistica Computazionale of Pisa from and before its origins (in the years 1965-1978 it was called Divisione Linguistica of the CNUCE and later ILC- CNR). In the '60 -'70 we worked on the DMI (Italian Machine Dictionary) under the auspices of the Italian Parliament. In the 1980s, the first studies of dictionaries organized in lexical fields began, starting from the intuitions of Julio Casares and the same principles were applied to Italian. From these distant experiences, over 50 years, different studies, applications, corpora and databases have been developed in relation to several disciplines: Literature, Philology, Law, Justice, Administration, Tourism, Medicine, etc. There have been compilations of several Authors in Spanish language: Bolivar, Carpentier, Cervantes, Encina, Machado, Marquez, Neruda, Salinas, Teresa de Avila, Unamuno, Vallejo, that will be described in this presentation, with examples of online search with the DBT-Web interface. It is also discussed to preserve this data for the future through its maintenance for consultation on the network.
