Description
Terminology in Everyday Life contains a selection of fresh and interesting articles by prominent scholars and practitioners in the field of terminology based on papers presented at an international terminology congress on the impact of terminology on everyday life. The volume brings together theory and practice of terminology and deals with such issues as the growing influence of European English on terminology, terminology on demand, setting up a national terminological infrastructure, the relevance of frames and contextual information for terminology, and standardisation through automated term extraction and editing tools. The book wants to demonstrate that terminology is of everyday importance and is of interest to everyone interested in the theory and practice of terminology, from terminologists to computer specialists to lecturers and students.
Reviews / Votes
Taken as a whole, the contributions in this book offer an interesting, if not complete, picture of terminology issues in the EU, particularly to the reader interested in terminology standardization, a common thread in most of the contributions. -- Annaich Le Serrec, Universite de Montreal, in Terminology, Vol. 17:2 (2011)More details
