Abstract

The paper presents the trilingual (English – Lithuanian – Norwegian) analysis of the terms denoting phobia types in mass media discourse. The aim of the paper is threefold: to perform conceptual categorisation of the terms, establish the term formation patterns in the investigated languages, as well as to determine which phobia types were most often discussed in the selected news media sites (“The Guardian”, “DELFI” and “Dagbladet”) over a 10-year period. For the purposes of the research, a trilingual comparable corpus was compiled, from which 268 terms were manually extracted, matched and investigated. The findings of the research provide important information on conceptual, linguistic and social aspects of the phobia terms which may contribute to terminology research in the psychiatry domain.

媒体话语中的术语:英语、立陶宛语和挪威语新闻媒体网站中表示恐惧症类型的术语的案例研究

本文采用英语-立陶宛语-挪威语三种语言对大众传媒话语中表示恐惧症类型的术语进行了分析。该论文的目的有三个:对术语进行概念分类，在被调查的语言中建立术语形成模式，以及确定哪些恐惧症类型在选定的新闻媒体网站(“卫报”，“DELFI”和“Dagbladet”)中被讨论最多。为了研究的目的，编写了一个三语可比语料库，从中手工提取、匹配和调查了268个术语。该研究结果为恐惧症术语的概念、语言和社会方面提供了重要信息，可能有助于精神病学领域的术语研究。

期刊介绍： Research in Language (RiL) is an international journal committed to publishing excellent studies in the area of linguistics and related disciplines focused on human communication. Language studies, as other scholarly disciplines, undergo two seemingly counteracting processes: the process of diversification of the field into narrow specialized domains and the process of convergence, strengthened by interdisciplinarity. It is the latter perspective that RiL editors invite for the journal, whose aim is to present language in its entirety, meshing traditional modular compartments, such as phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics, and offer a multidimensional perspective which exposes varied but relevant aspects of language, e.g. the cognitive, the psychological, the institutional aspect, as well as the social shaping of linguistic convention and creativity.
