Abstract

The paper examines how a translator may use computerised dictionaries along with generated concordances and collocations to expand their 'background knowledge' of a specialised domain. It illustrates this with a case study from an IBM technical manual for the management of a computer network, focusing on interpretations of the word "alert".
