Einführung in die Terminologiearbeit

Terminology is the central element of professional communication and the foundation for the ordering and transfer of knowledge. Therefore specialists in the field of technical communication, translation and standardisation have for many years been concerned with terminology. Especially in the modern era of globalisation and of information and communications technology, more and more businesses are recognising that terminology is an essential part of business communication and can influence economic success.
This Einführung in die Terminologiearbeit has appeared in six editions since 1989. For the seventh edition both form and content have been thoroughly revised in keeping with the latest developments. The chapters on computer-based terminology and on training and further education in terminology, and some of the theoretical chapters have been completely rewritten.
The aims of the book are:
• To provide an introduction to the most important areas of terminological theory
• To provide a guide to practical work with terminology, giving plenty of space to the methods and problems of multilingual and IT-supported and promoted work with terminology.
