Within the modern information, communication and technology (ICT), seeking high efficient and accurate corpus-based approaches to process natural language data (NLD) is critical. Traditional corpus-based approaches for processing corpus (i.e. the collected NLD) mainly focused on quantifying and ranking words for assisting human in extracting keywords. However, traditional corpus-based approaches cannot identify the meanings behind the words to properly extract terminologies nor their information. To address this issue, the main objective of this paper is to propose an integrated linguistic analysis approach that combines two corpus-based approaches and a rule-based natural language processing (NLP) approach to extract and identify terminologies and create the text database for extracting deeper domain-oriented information by using the terminologies as channels to retrieve core information from the target corpus. Military domain is an uncommon research field and often classified as confidential data, which caused little researches to focus on. Nevertheless, military information is vital to national security and should not be ignored. Hence, to verify the proposed approach in extracting terminologies and information of the terminologies, the researchers adopt the US Army field manual (FM) 8-10-6 as the target corpus and empirical case. Compared with AntConc 3.5.8 and Tongpoon-Patanasorn’s hybrid approach, the results indicate that from the perspectives of terminology identification, texts database creation, domain knowledge extraction, only the proposed approach can handle all these issues.
