Abstract

The present paper deals with the use of English initialisms and abbreviations in the professional field of pharmaceutical business communication in Spanish. This specialized area has not yet been previously examined, and the use of initialisms and abbreviations is becoming more and more extended. The corpus consisted in an up-to-date list of thirty-seven shortened forms, which was extracted from a digital magazine addressed to pharmacists. In order to document the use of the initialisms, acronyms and abbreviations examined in Spanish, a combined analysis was carried out: firstly, the above mentioned list of initialisms and acronyms from the online magazine www.correofarmaceutico.com provided evidence about their use in written language; and secondly, the twenty-one pharmacists who answered our questionnaire provided data about practitioners’ familiarity with and the actual usage of these lexical items.
英文首字母缩略词在西班牙语医药商务交际中的应用
本文探讨了西班牙语医药商务交流专业领域中英文首字母缩写的使用。这一专门领域以前还没有被研究过,而首字母和缩写的使用正变得越来越广泛。语料库包括一个最新的37个缩短形式的列表,这是从一个面向药剂师的数字杂志中提取的。为了记录西班牙语中首字母缩略词的使用情况,我们进行了综合分析:首先,上面提到的在线杂志www.correofarmaceutico.com中的首字母缩略词列表提供了它们在书面语言中使用的证据;其次,回答问卷的21位药师提供了从业人员对这些词汇的熟悉程度和实际使用情况的数据。

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.
