Pragmatics of specialist terms: the acquisition and representation of terminology
Abstract
The compilation of specialist terminology requires an understanding of how specialists coin and use terms of their specialisms. We show how an exploitation of the pragmatic features of specialist terms will help in the semi-automatic extraction of terms and in the organisation of terms in terminology data banks.- Anthology ID:
