Découverte de la néologie et de la nécrologie dans la terminologie anglaise de l’informatique à l’aide d’une méthode outillée

This paper evaluates a method for discovering neologisms (new terms) and nécrologismes (obsolete or soon-to-be-obsolete terms) in informatics terminology during the decade 2001-2010 (informatics is rapidly evolving), with two diachronic corpora from widely distributed English language journals from 2001-2005 and 2006-2010. The results show that this method, when properly used, is better adapted for discovering new terms and noun forms.
