Abstract

This article looks at so-called “deviant” functioning in terminology. The notion of deviancy seems to be situated in relation to a “neutral” functioning of the language, which does not take any particular communication situation into account. The article aims to show that this supposed deviancy has to be related to the communication situation itself, which, in the present case, implies specialised knowledge. Rather than just being deviancies, it is argued that these linguistic formulations are a tangible manifestation of the specificity of the communication situation. Three types of explanation are put forward for their use: linguistic (linguistic prolixity and linguistic economy), sociolinguistic, and cognitive. Each type is exemplified by various studies.

如何用术语来解释“越轨的”语言功能?

本文着眼于术语中所谓的“异常”功能。越轨的概念似乎与语言的“中立”功能有关，它不考虑任何特定的交流情况。本文旨在表明，这种所谓的偏差必须与沟通情况本身有关，在这种情况下，这意味着专业知识。本文认为，这些语言表达方式不仅仅是越轨行为，而是交际情境特殊性的有形表现。对它们的使用提出了三种类型的解释:语言学(语言多产性和语言经济性)、社会语言学和认知语言学。每种类型都有各种各样的研究作为例证。

期刊介绍： Terminology is an independent journal with a cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary scope. It focusses on the discussion of (systematic) solutions not only of language problems encountered in translation, but also, for example, of (monolingual) problems of ambiguity, reference and developments in multidisciplinary communication. Particular attention will be given to new and developing subject areas such as knowledge representation and transfer, information technology tools, expert systems and terminological databases. Terminology encompasses terminology both in general (theory and practice) and in specialized fields (LSP), such as physics.
