	  Some time ago I submitted the following question to
	  Linguist:
 
	  Do you know of any electronic sources (corpora,
	  commercial/public databases, collections compiled by
	  institutions, organisations or private persons (subject
	  indexes, word lists etc.)) which provide a terminological
	  documentation of the most frequently used eco- and enviro-
	  words in English (AE and BE)?
 
	  I only received two answers so far but I still hope that I
	  will receive some more (otherwise it leads me to conclude
	  that there is definitely nothing around in this field).
	  I would like to thank the two people who provided me
	  with information so far. They are:
 
	  - Maria <maria at ling.ed.ac.uk>:
	  Susanne, ich weiss von keinem speziellen Korpus, aber
	  Datenbanken wie CELEX duerften u.a. solche Informationen
	  enthalten. Ausserdem koenntest Du es mal mit Wordnet
	  versuchen, einem semantischen Netz englischer Woerter, mit
	  dem Du zumindest einen groben Ueberblick ueber die
	  spezifische Semantik bekommst.
 
	  - Uli Heid <uli at gaukler.ims.uni-stuttgart.de>:
	  ich kenne kein Online-Woerterbuch fuer Oekologie und
	  Umweltschutz. Sie koennten allenfalls bei der WWW-Seite von
	  ELSEVIER nachsehen: ELSEVIER hat ja eine umfangreiche
	  Sammlung mehrsprachiger Woerterbuecher. Eine Reihe davon
	  sollen demnaechst auf CD-Rom verfuegbar gemacht werden, aber
	  wahrscheinlich wieder nicht in anderer Form elektronisch.
 
 
	  Thank you very much. I hope that some more information will
	  eventually crop up.
 
	  Best
	  Susanne Lenz
