The present study aims at describing and\u0000 comparing lexical chunks of wine and olive oil tasting notes at a semantic level to show if there is variation in the same genre\u0000 across domains; we will not only describe, classify and compare lexical chunks, but also identify the way this knowledge is\u0000 structured and construed in the same genre in both domains. We will test our methodology in a corpus of English tasting notes from\u0000 both genres written by three different writer profiles: professionals, amateurs and wineries/mills. Our results will be useful for\u0000 scholars as well as technical writers when writing tasting notes.","PeriodicalId":44429,"journal":{"name":"Terminology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44380022","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This\u0000 article takes a methodological perspective and addresses a general methodological question: how can we, with limited funding,\u0000 utilise to a maximal degree, existing language resources to create a terminology at a relatively low cost? Although an important\u0000 player in the maritime industries for many centuries, Norway has not prioritised the systematic development of an official\u0000 maritime terminology. The article therefore focuses specifically on efforts to develop a national resource for maritime domains.\u0000 The article describes efforts to create a corpus of popular science and a parallel corpus of technical texts. Six different term\u0000 extraction methods are applied. These include corpus-based statistical analyses of frequency, collocation and keyness, as well as\u0000 bilingual term extraction. Finally, the pros and cons of each method are evaluated by means of a cost-benefit analysis.","PeriodicalId":44429,"journal":{"name":"Terminology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43120552","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nested-abbreviated terms can be considered as abbreviated\u0000 forms, either initialisms or acronyms, which have within their meaning another abbreviated term. To carry out the\u0000 analysis, 433 nested-abbreviated terms were extracted from two specialized dictionaries in English. Data analysis showed that,\u0000 from the morphological and semantic perspective, nested-abbreviated terms behave like typical abbreviations. Important differences\u0000 were found from a syntactic standpoint where nested abbreviated terms behave as premodifiers in the noun phrase (NP) in 98.93% of\u0000 the cases. As this is the first time nested-abbreviated terms are studied, they were not only described but also analyzed and\u0000 defined. Although the percentage of nested-abbreviated terms obtained from the dictionaries is relatively low, less than 1% of\u0000 total abbreviations, it was found that it is highly relevant to study this growing phenomenon in specialized languages for\u0000 terminology extraction, as well as for other purposes.","PeriodicalId":44429,"journal":{"name":"Terminology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43558748","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present paper examines the semantic evolution of\u0000 the term mariage civil in French law, relating this evolution to socio-cultural and historical aspects of France between\u0000 1791 (when civil marriage was instituted in this country) and 2013 (when the most recent legislative change in the area occurred). Based on\u0000 this investigation, it is possible to affirm the transformations in the French society and legislative changes have modified the concept\u0000 designated by the term mariage civil, especially concerning the notion of family and the achievement of rights by women and\u0000 homosexuals.","PeriodicalId":44429,"journal":{"name":"Terminology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47726453","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
