Meeting Description: 

New words are a frequent phenomenon. For linguistic purists they constitute a
threat to the standard language. Of the three major sources of names for new
concepts, borrowings are generally considered the strongest offense. Word
formation is more acceptable, because it uses the proper devices of a
language. The extension of the meaning of existing words is often not noticed
as a change to the language. Different languages each have their own tradition
as to which mechanisms are more or less acceptable in which circumstances. In
translation, the absence of a word in the target language often requires the
translator to choose a strategy along one of these lines, which can affect the
acceptance of the target text.
