    Such examples are typical for glossary or dictionary entries, but we also found them in ordered and unordered lists of our corpus documents. In these types of definition (henceforth called “glossary definitions") the components always appear in the same order: the definiendum component in the first position, followed by different types of separators, followed by the definiens component. Glossary definitions are hard to detect with our definitorbased method, since a multitude of different separators exists. In some cases there is no separator at all; instead, the definiendum is separated from the definiens by a different font or a different type face.
