Abstract
This paper presents an analysis of English motion verbs in the specialized field of adventure tourism and proposes
a terminological description of these verbs from a lexico-semantic approach. Motion verbs play a significant role in adventure
tourism as they express central actions that are carried out in this domain and connect participants, such as tourists, places and
typical instruments to these actions. The analysis aims to reveal how the linguistic properties of these verbs and their
interactions with participants contribute to the expression of knowledge. After stating our assumptions and reviewing previous
work, the article describes a corpus-based methodology to identify relevant verbs and the different steps taken to implement their
description in the DicoAdventure database. The methodology comprises three main steps and is illustrated by
applying it to a set of motion verbs extracted from the Advencor corpus.
期刊介绍：
Terminology is an independent journal with a cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary scope. It focusses on the discussion of (systematic) solutions not only of language problems encountered in translation, but also, for example, of (monolingual) problems of ambiguity, reference and developments in multidisciplinary communication. Particular attention will be given to new and developing subject areas such as knowledge representation and transfer, information technology tools, expert systems and terminological databases. Terminology encompasses terminology both in general (theory and practice) and in specialized fields (LSP), such as physics.
