Terminology and Language Planning
Author : Bassey Edem Antia
Publisher : John Benjamins Publishing
Page : 302 pages
File Size : 14,5 MB
Release : 2000-01-01
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
ISBN : 9789027223258
Book Description
Changing socio-political landscapes, the dynamics of "glocalization", among other factors, are spawning new policy attitudes towards multilingualism, and putting language planning on the map. With respect to terminology, this book suggests that to be relevant and sustainable, language planning would have to define its mission as the deregulation of access to specialized knowledge, and correspondingly be founded on substantially different methods and theoretical bases: epistemology and ontology of specialized domains; research on language for special purposes (LSP) and collocations; corpus linguistics; and language engineering technologies.
