Claim 12:
13. A method, performed in a communications server apparatus for processing text data for disabbreviation of text units, the method comprising, under control of a processor of the server apparatus:
receiving text data comprising at least one text data element associated with an abbreviated text unit;
comparing the at least one text data element with a plurality of candidate text data elements from a representation of a given text database, each candidate text data element associated with a respective candidate text unit in the database;
determining values for a similarity measure between the at least one text data element and the candidate text data elements;
processing candidate text data elements to select candidate text data elements with associated candidate text units having an ordered relationship with the abbreviated text unit; and
using the similarity measure values and the candidate text data element selections to nominate an associated candidate text unit as a disabbreviated text unit for the abbreviated text unit,
wherein the representation of the text database is a vector space model trained on the given text database, and wherein the text data elements comprise vectors from the model, each vector of the vector space model being associated with a respective candidate text unit,, and wherein the method comprises comparing at least one text data element vector with a plurality of candidate text data element vectors.
