Abstract
Parallel bilingual texts are a valuable source of information to advanced language learners, particularly in the area of lexis, subtle lexical dependencies. Typically this information is either not available or sporadically available only in very large dictionaries. To be most effective, the corpora in question should be indexed by lexeme (not string, or word form), and should be aligned into parallel sentences. This paper surveys use and prospects.
