This paper describes the history of relations, separate processes of identifying user needs and connectedness of the results of two separate surveys, a convergence of positions and the ultimate establishment of cooperation between members of the Translators and Interpreters Interest Group (TIIG) and experts from the Department of General Linguistics at the Institute of Croatian Language and Linguistics. We'll show how, regardless of the initial disparate positions, by forming smaller working groups, by accepting the idea of crowdsourcing and wider understanding of what terminological infrastructure means for two different types of stakeholders, a common goal can be defined leading to a relatively quick creation of a searchable database of translator's glossaries. The emphasis is on the fact that such a database becomes an important resource for the translator community, but at the same time provides an important contribution to the increase in the number of domains and to the quality of results on the national terminological portal created within a scientific institution.

The paper presents the framework for semantic role labeling that is being developed within the project the Dynamicity of Specialized Knowledge Categories. The main goal of the project is the description of the categories of aviation within semantic frames. One of the tasks towards achieving this goal is developing a methodology for the syntactic and semantic analysis of the language for specialized purposes that could be applied to any specialized domain. The paper first outlines the differences between the terminological database Struna and a lexical database of semantic frames of aviation, AirFrame. Methods applied in analyzing terminological definitions and annotated sentences containing aviation terms are then presented. Conceptual information from the definitions of key aviation concepts in Struna is compared to semantically annotated sentences extracted from the parallel English-Croatian aviation corpus. The corpus compilation and analysis has been done in Sketch Engine, while the annotation is done in the WebAnno tool. Two approaches to semantic role labelling are discussed. The first approach does not have roles specific to one class, e.g. LIRICS (Petukhova & Bunt, 2008) and VerbNet (Kipper et al., 2008) with hierarchically organized semantic roles. The second approach, developed within FrameNet has more than 2000 frame elements or semantic roles that are verb-specific and frame-specific. Advantages of each approach are discussed, and the semantic tagset applied in the analysis is elaborated. The benefits of using semantic role labeling in terminological resources are finally discussed.

This paper discusses different definitions of identity with a focus on the place of language in these definitions. The centuries-long study of the standardisation of the Croatian language shows that the notion of a national language is also a component of a group’s collective identity. This paper gives an overview of designations used for the Croatian language, from the first known records to those used in the 21st century. These records clearly show that in past centuries language was indeed a connecting link between Croatian areas otherwise disconnected from each other through administrative or other boundaries. Language as an indicator of identity is also apparent in reactions to some recent EU initiatives that have suggested that collective terms such as ‘Bosnian-Croatian-Serbian’ or ‘Bosnian-Croatian-Montenegrin-Serbian’ could be employed to also encompass the Croatian language.

Rather than viewing it as an arbitrary or expansionary concept based on the belief that “more is better”, universities around the world are strategically forming their own internationalization profiles, each adapting to its particular environment but all reaching for similar goals of rich international profiles. In our examination of the global involvement of universities, we discovered one indicator that is rarely explored by scholars of global higher education: the coverage of the “global” in the curriculum. We pored through the bachelor’s, master’s and PhD programmes offered and checked to what degree the “global” is represented in programmes, and to what extent it correlates with how these universities internationalize otherwise. We located area studies in the university curriculums and juxtaposed them with what is commonly understood as “internationalization strategy”: student mobility and cooperation agreements. We suggest that area studies are particularly relevant to the process of internationalization at universities.
