Book Description
This book explores the pragmatics of specialized language with a focus on multiword terms, complex phrases characterized by sequences of nouns or adjectives whose meaning is clarified in the unspecified but implicit links between them, with implications for their use and translation. The volume adopts an innovative approach rooted in Frame-Based Terminology which allows for the analysis of multiword – compound terms in specialized language, such as horizontal-axis wind turbine – term formation from an integrated semantic and pragmatic perspective. The book features data from a corpus on wind power in English, Spanish, and French comprising such specialized texts as research articles, books, reports, and PhD theses to consider term extraction and the identification of terminological correspondences. Cabezas-García highlights the ways in which pragmatic analysis is an integral part of understanding multiword terms, due to the necessary inference of information implicit within them, with applications for future research on pragmatics and specialized language more broadly. This book will be of interest to students and researchers in pragmatics, semantics, corpus linguistics, and terminology.

Des corpus numériques à l’analyse linguistique en langues de spécialité
Author: Collectif
Publisher: UGA Éditions
ISBN: 2377473024
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : fr
Pages : 378
Book Description
Les travaux menés sur les langues de spécialité et en linguistique de corpus ont profondément modifié le rapport aux textes spécialisés, faisant émerger de nouvelles problématiques et pistes de recherche. Dans un contexte renouvelé d’accès aux données numériques, écrites ou orales, la dynamique d’analyse de corpus a bénéficié à un large spectre de domaines, intégrant les sciences humaines par-delà les domaines traditionnellement dévolus aux langues de spécialité. Par une sélection de contributions originales et variées, cet ouvrage illustre la diversité des approches et des applications en langues de spécialité, convoquant des thématiques liées à la constitution, l’annotation et l’exploitation de corpus autour d’analyses lexicales, phraséologiques, syntaxiques et sémantiques de textes et de discours spécialisés. Les 13 contributions rassemblées dans cet ouvrage s’attachent à caractériser des genres textuels spécifiques (article scientifique, article de presse, encyclopédie, guide touristique, réunions d’entreprise ou vidéos) et explorer des problématiques relevant de la construction de ressources lexicales, de la didactique des langues, ou bien encore de la terminologie et de la traduction, à l’aune des derniers développements de la linguistique de corpus.

Popularizing Science
Author: Hélène Ledouble
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1394298994
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
Media coverage of scientific issues is a highly complex process. It involves making a specialized field accessible to the general public, without necessarily disseminating the associated scientific terms or knowledge. The terminological interactions between press discourses and scientific knowledge are presented within the field of agroecology. The analysis of textual data focuses on articles in the general press in French and English, devoted to plant protection practices using natural mechanisms (biological control). This book provides a terminological and cognitive overview of the issues involved in popularizing science in a rapidly expanding field, and of the challenges to be met in the constantly evolving environmental communication sector.

Dictionary Use and Dictionary Teaching
Author: Annette Klosa-Kückelhaus
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3111373290
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
Foreign language learners often use electronic dictionaries or other information from the Internet to solve language problems. However, they seem to have great difficulty using dictionaries and online resources appropriately, profitably and successfully. Their teachers also seem unfamiliar with the current dictionary landscape and sometimes insist on using a single (monolingual) print dictionary in class. As a result, dictionaries are often banned from the classroom altogether. However, in today's digital, global and multilingual world, appropriate competence in the use of dictionaries is an essential communicative strategy. Dictionary didactics should thus be integrated into foreign language teaching. Against this background, the contributions in this volume discuss how dictionary use can be promoted and integrated into the classroom. They also consider how modern lexical resources and dictionaries should be designed to support learners. Last but not least, they present ideas for educational policies that could promote the use of dictionaries and lexicographic online resources. This volume offers important insights to language teachers, authors of language teaching materials, practical lexicographers and other applied linguists.

Theoretical Perspectives on Terminology
Author: Pamela Faber
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing Company
ISBN: 9027257787
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 608
Book Description
The aim of this volume is to provide an overview of different theoretical perspectives on Terminology, from Wüster to other initiatives that have emerged since the beginning of the 1990s. The volume also covers important topics which have significantly influenced Terminology and its evolution. These include variation, multidimensionality, conceptual relations, and equivalence, among others. The twenty-two chapters of the volume, all written by acknowledged experts in the field, explore the questions that different approaches seek to answer. They also describe the theoretical and methodological principles that were devised over the years to characterize, analyze, and represent terminological data. The semi-chronological, semi-thematic organization of chapters not only provides readers with a clear vision of the evolution of ideas in Terminology, but also gives them an understanding as to why some of these ideas were initially challenged. In addition to being accessible to readers unfamiliar with the basic theoretical principles in the field, the chapters provide a showcase of current research in the field, the challenges looming on the horizon, and finally future directions in terminological research. By bringing together work that is often disseminated in different forums and written in different languages, this volume provides a unique opportunity to look at how different theoretical approaches to Terminology offer complementary perspectives on terms, concepts and specialized knowledge, and help to further a better understanding of the complex phenomena that terminologists must successfully deal with in their work.

Translating for Children
Author: Ritta Oittinen
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135578923
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
Translating for Children is not a book on translations of children's literature, but a book on translating for children. It concentrates on human action in translation and focuses on the translator, the translation process, and translating for children, in particular. Translators bring to the translation their cultural heritage, their reading experience, and in the case of children's books, their image of childhood and their own child image. In so doing, they enter into a dialogic relationship that ultimately involves readers, the author, the illustrator, the translator, and the publisher. What makes Translating for Children unique is the special attention it pays to issues like the illustrations of stories, the performance (like reading aloud) of the books in translation, and the problem of adaptation. It demonstrates how translation and its context takes precedence can take over efforts to discover and reproduce the original author's intentions. Rather than the authority of the author, the book concentrates on the intentions of the readers of a book in translation, both the translator and the target-language readers.
