Towards New Ways of Terminology Description: The sociocognitive approach (Terminology and Lexicography Research and Practice) Book

In this title, Temmerman questions the validity of traditional terminology theory. Her findings are that the traditional approach impedes a description of a large number of categories and terms. Inspired by the cognitive sciences, the author develops an alternative theory. The main principles of this theory imply: a combined semasiological and onomasiological perspective, that only a few categories may be clearly delineated, form and content of definitions vary according to category types and user's requirements, synonymmy and polysemy are functional in special language and a diachronic approach is unavoidable. This title is intended for specialists in terminology theory, practising terminographers and for anybody interested in special language, cognitive models and prototype theory.Read More
