Abstract
Many researchers emphasize the importance of corpora in the design of Language-for-Specific-Purposes courses in higher education. However, identifying those lexical units which belong to a given specific domain is often a complex task for language teachers, where simple introspection or concordance analysis does not really become effective. The goal of this paper is to describe DEXTER, an open-access platform for data mining and terminology management, whose aim is not only the search, retrieval, exploration and analysis of texts in domain-specific corpora but also the automatic extraction of specialized words from the domain.
