A method includes performing, at a device, an analysis of a domain-specific corpus to identify a base term and a modifier term. The modifier term modifies the base term in at least a portion of the domain-specific corpus. The method also includes accessing, by the device, a first entry in lexicon data. The first entry includes core data corresponding to domain-independent lexical information for the base term. The method further includes adding, based on the analysis, non-core data to the first entry. The non-core data corresponds to domain-specific lexical information for the base term. The non-core data identifies the modifier term as a domain-specific modifier of the base term.
