Abstract:

"Lexical Semantics for Terminology: An introduction" explores the
interconnections between lexical semantics and terminology. More specifically,
it shows how principles borrowed from lexico-semantic frameworks and
methodologies derived from them can help understand terms and describe them in
resources. It also explains how lexical analysis complements perspectives
primarily focused on knowledge. Topics such as term identification, meaning,
polysemy, relations between terms, and equivalence are discussed thoroughly
and illustrated with examples taken from various fields of knowledge.

This book is an indispensable companion for those who are interested in words
and work with specialized terms, e.g. terminologists, translators,
lexicographers, corpus linguists. A background in terminology or lexical
semantics is not required since all notions are defined and explained. This
book complements other textbooks on terminology that do not focus on lexical
semantics "per se".
