Full Title: Terminology 


Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics; Cognitive Science; Lexicography; Translation 

Call Deadline: 30-Jun-2011 

Special Issue of Terminology 18:1 (2012). Neology in Specialized 
Communication


The study of neonyms makes it possible to measure the vitality of a 
language. In today's globalized society, the contrastive studies of different 
languages often give very valuable information about the degree of balance, 
harmonization or interference between different languages, and more 
particularly, between languages in contact.
In fact, in the domain of linguistic mediation, many professionals --such as 
translators, terminologists, experts, technical writers and reviewers-- working 
in fields as diverse as teaching, specialized journalism, museography, 
translation, information management, automatic processing of texts, etc., 
frequently identify new specialized concepts that need to be filled with new 
lexical units or with semantically-recycled lexical units. Consequently, these 
professionals are used to making decisions that do not always satisfy 
everyone. One of the fields in which neonymy is particularly crucial is that of 
terminology planning.

The contributors to this special issue will be asked to explain how they 
approach specialized neologisms in the context of specialized 
communication, giving a tentative answer to the following questions:
- Are the everyday, common words useful to denominate new specialized 
concepts?
- Can specialized neologisms be directly transferred from one language to 
another?
- What resources are available in languages to give a name to a new 
concept?
- What is the best neonym for a new reality?
- How can the needs for neonymy be detected?
- How can a neologism of a specific field be detected?
- What are the most useful tools to automate the processing of specialized 
neologisms? etc.

The editors invite submissions that present innovative research work or 
articles addressing a central conceptual, theoretical, and/or empirical 
investigation on specialized neology. Authors may want to deal with one or 
several of the following issues:
1. Theoretical approaches to neonymy or specialized neology.
2. Descriptive and contrastive studies in specialized neology.
3. Social and sociolinguistic aspects of specialized neology.
4. Communicative and cognitive aspects of specialized neology.
5. Neologisms and specialized fields.
6. Specialized neology in language planning.
7. New tools for neonymy work in terminology.
8. Neology in professional settings.

Submissions
Papers should be written with Word and comprise between 20-30 pages. More 
information on formatting requirements can be found on the John Benjamins 
website (www.benjamins.com). English is preferred (80% of the contents), but
