Linguistic Sub-field: Translation

Meeting Description:

The topic of terminology has been approached traditionally from the
perspective of standardization. More recently, corpus-based approaches
have gained prominence. A question which is relevant to both
approaches concerns the relationship of terminology to a theory of the
lexicon.

In this conference, these perspectives will be considered not only
theoretically, but also from a practical angle. The study and
management of terminology is an essential component of commercial,
technical, and scientific translation. Computational tools provide an
almost indispensible help to any translator, whether working in an
institutional translation service, an independent translation company,
or as a free-lance translator.
