Hello everybody,

I am a student of English and I am working on my thesis
which focusses on terms used in the area of ecology and
environmental protection in the linguistic context of the
respective influence of German and English.

In Germany we do have a database called "Oekobase" which,
among various other information concerning environmental
matters, provides a good terminological documentation of the
most frequently used eco- and enviro- words in German. I
would be interested to learn if any such electronic
documentation for English has been compiled so far. This
could include corpora, commercial and public databases as
well as any collection compiled by institutions,
organisation or private persons for internal use (i.e.
subject indexes, word lists etc.).

Do you know of any such resources or do you have any of them
which you could provide for research purposes?

I would be grateful for any help you could give me on this
matter.

Thank you very much for your time and cooperation.

Best regards

Susanne Lenz
