Ein Kapitel aus dem Buch Languages for Special Purposes

Abstract

Technical Terminology is a highly important aspect of language for specific purposes (LSP) which has been the subject of much intense discussion. After defining what technical terminology means in a narrow sense, the way both single terms and whole terminologies are made up is discussed with respect to the three main ways that LSP have been thought of, i.e. the system-linguistic inventory model, the pragma-linguistic context model, and the cognitive-linguistic function model. In doing so, these three modes of observation come to very different results with respect to terminological properties and strategies of terminologization.
