TY - CONF ID - 1199256 AU - Vogel, Radek PY - 2014 TI - Creation of terms in traditional vs. emergent/growing terminologies: Searching for regular patterns KW - emergent terminology KW - lexical enrichment KW - term KW - terminology KW - traditional N2 - Terminologies are hierarchically organised sets of naming units, terms, which are generally not in the spotlight of linguistics. The creation of terms takes place autonomously within individual disciplines, which either follow traditional subject-specific patterns or adopt coinages arising from the current scientific or professional discourse. Yet, the approaches to lexical enrichment, i.e. creation of new terms, taken in individual disciplines deserve attention of lexicologists for the ability to reveal the variety as well as creative power of language. The paper examines such term-formation processes in a selection of disciplines providing a balanced picture of traditional and relatively new, fast growing terminologies. As English is the dominant language in most fields of activity these days, it rather influences lexis of other languages. For this reason, attention has been paid also to the corresponding newly emerging terminologies in Czech (e.g. marketing, power generation, geocaching, acrobatic skiing) to see whether there are any structural analogies to English terminologies, apart from borrowing, loan translation, etc. The paper attempts to provide a classification of term-formation processes seen in the indicated broader context.
