Abstract:

The aim of the present volume is to provide a present-day take on variation in
terminology by looking forward and examining what leading scholars in the
field are working on and where they are taking research in the field today.

This reader is built around three themes arranged according to complementary
points of view to stimulate thought on the subject of variation as it is
approached today. The first theme, “The social dimension of variation”,
includes three contributions dealing with variation across different
categories of speakers. This reflects not only the expert/layperson dichotomy
but also other more original polarities as the emotional dimension and the
issue of diastratic variation across LSPs. The second part of this reader puts
forward different tools and methods to identify, describe and manage term
variation. The third theme of this reader questions semantics of term
variation through the topics of concept saturation, multidimensionality and
metaphor.

Variation, through this picture of current studies, proves to be the
touchstone for the understanding of the major issues of terminology research
today. The included papers draw on research in terminology carried out in
different language communities - Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian and
Dutch in particular - thereby opening up a window on much of the research
carried out in these cultural areas.
