Establishing the framework of an online dictionary for essay writing program at law faculty

从WebBootCaT汇编的语料库中提取的法律的词汇表反映了各个法律领域的性质，因此使用WebBootCaT汇编专业语料库是合理的。此外，从语料库数据中获得的搭配信息是非常有价值的，因为收集到的大部分搭配都没有在以下任何一本词典中得到（充分）处理：（1）为母语使用者提供的法律词典;（2）为学习者提供的法律词典;（3）包含大量搭配的EFL词典;以及（4）英日学习者词典。可以说，从语料库中提取的语言信息，如搭配等，对大学生用英语撰写有关法律的学术论文有很大的帮助。

Legal vocabulary lists extracted from the corpora compiled by WebBootCaT reflect nature of each area of law, so that the use of WebBootCaT for the compilation of specialized corpus may be justified. Also, collocation information gained from the corpus data is highly valuable because most of the collocations gathered are not dealt with (fully) in any of the following dictionaries : (1) dictionaries of law for native speakers ; (2) dictionaries of law for learners ; (3) EFL dictionaries, containing a lot of collocations ; and (4) English-Japanese learners' dictionaries. It can be said, therefore, that linguistic information such as collocation retrieved from this corpus will be of much use to university students trying to write an academic essay about legal issues in English.
