His research within the CLARA project will be focused on the fields of parallel corpora, computational terminology and phraseology (collocations), with an interest in methods and tools for semiautomatic term and collocation extraction applied to English and Spanish aligned texts from a specialized domain (economics), concretely with the official texts of Free Trade Agreements (FTA). He has aligned a 1,5 million word specialized parallel corpus with FTA texts.
