- Summary:
- Contributors identified only by name--presumably linguists--demonstrate the importance of cognitive linguistics as a methodological framework for studying terminology and specialized language. Their overall themes are basic concepts, terms as specialized knowledge units, and contextual information in specialized knowledge representation: linguistic contexts and images. Specific topics are terminology and specialized language, metaphor and metonymy in specialized language, translating specialized language, semantics, pragmatics, a contextual selection for term entries, and graphical information.
