Terminology cover

This volume brings together a selection of M. Teresa Cabré’s articles on terminology published after 1999 in journals of diverse nature and scope, many of which are difficult to access; articles in languages other than English are here provided in English translation. As a whole, these articles aim to represent the author’s groundbreaking work on terminology, both from a theoretical as from a methodological and applied point of view. Part I includes texts on three fundamental aspects of terminology as a field of knowledge: Firstly, general articles on the rethinking of proposals made by other authors and on the bases for the formulation of the Communicative Theory of Terminology (CTT). Secondly, articles that deal with the rethinking of the framework of this subject, with emphasis on specialised languages and communication. And thirdly, on the object of study: the terminological unit. Part II includes articles on methodology, international standards, and teaching terminology, and texts that deal with the intersection of terminology with other fields: Documentation, Translation, Neology, and Language Policy.

[U]na fita que hem de celebrar i compartir. [...] El volum reuneix i organitza treballs fins ara esparsos, cosa que permet al lector tenir una visió global de la contribució de Cabré. A més, pel fet de presentar-los en anglès, els aproxima a molts més lectors dels que ha tingut fins ara la recerca de Cabré. L’obra ofereix un panorama de les principals aportacions de Cabré a la terminologia des d’un perspectiva teòrica, concretada en la Teoria Comunicativa de la Terminologia, metodològica i aplicada. [...] Les contribucions d’aquest volum es mouen entre el passat, el present i el futur de la terminologia, un recorregut en què les preguntes són tan importants com les respostes. Cabré explica i opina, guia el lector amb mà experta. -- Maria Josep Cuenca Ordinyana, Universitat de València/IIFV/IEC, in: Caplletra 76 (2024)
