- Book Synopsis
- This book provides an overview of the various methods adopted for terminology planning in the languages under examination. Collectively, the authors attempt to establish an overall understanding of terminology planning in Europe, starting from an examination of the organizations engaged in terminology planning in different European linguistic contexts. Each chapter focuses on a specific language or language landscape, focusing on issues such as: - the defining features of these terminology planning institutions, including their size, structure, funding sources, specialization, public recognition, publication methods, and collaborations with other organizations; - the responsibilities and operational procedures, for example as regards standardization, description, evaluation, quantification of results, dissemination, and terminometry; - terminology planning versus general language planning; - the historical development of these institutions and the future prospects for terminology planning in each language or language landscape. The individual authors provide an independent overview of one language landscape. Overall, the book tells a fascinating story about how each language handles terminology as an essential linguistic factor in everyday society.
