Abstract:

This book is the study of surveying terminology, which may be considered as an
under-researched area when compared to legal, medical or business
terminologies, focusing on English and Polish. It examines differences between
terms and concepts in the two languages. The purpose of the book is
three-fold: firstly, to investigate how surveying terms are created and how
they are named in English and Polish, secondly, to analyse concept systems of
the two languages with respect to surveying terminology, and thirdly, to
indicate the areas of surveying in which terminological and conceptual
differences occur, the factors that trigger them and translation strategies
which are used to solve them.

The book offers a systematic, corpus-based approach to terminology. Data for
analyses come from the English and Polish surveying corpora compiled
specifically for this project. The author of the book attempts to provide a
wide picture of surveying terminology by looking at problems that diversified
groups of users may identify. The book is directed towards terminologists and
lexicographers, for whom it provides a set of guidelines on how to enrich the
content of surveying dictionaries, translators and technical writers, who may
find information on how to deal with conceptual mismatches, and to specialists
in the surveying field, who are interested in finding equivalents for
problematic terms.
