Abstract:

The urge to understand all aspects of human experience more and better seems
to be one of the motives underlying cognitive development in many domains of
human existence. Understanding more and better is at the basis of knowledge
creation and extension. One way of getting access to how understanding comes
about and how knowledge is the result of a continuous dynamics of
understanding and misunderstanding is by studying the cognitive potential and
the development of natural language(s) and more particularly of terminology,
in specialized domains. In this volume on dynamics and terminology, thirteen
contributors illustrate that human cognition is a dynamic process in a variety
of socio-cognitive and cultural settings. The case studies encompass a panoply
of methodologies and deal with subjects ranging from the dynamics of legal
understanding in multilingual Europe, over financial, economic and scientific
terminology in several cultural and linguistic settings, to language policy
issues in multilingual environments. All thirteen contributors link the
dynamics of cognition to the creative potential of language as a repository of
past and present experience in cultural settings and to the creation of
neologisms in domain-specific languages. Attention is given to the
functionality of indeterminacy, vagueness, polysemy, ambiguity, synonymy,
metaphor and phraseology. In this volume terminology is researched and
discussed from an interdisciplinary perspective, combining insights developed
over the last decades in communicative terminology, socio-terminology,
socio-cognitive terminology, cultural terminology, with tools and methods from
cognitive linguistics, corpus linguistics, sociolinguistics, frame semantics,
semiotics, knowledge engineering and statistics.
