This paper explores two aspects of word use and word meaning in terms of Sinclair's (1991, 1998) distinction between the open-choice principle (or terminological tendency) and the idiom principle (or phraseological tendency). Technical terms such as strobilation are rare, highly domain-specific, and of little phraseological interest, although the texts in which such word occur do tend to contai...

The merger of both resources in an onto-terminology is intended to contribute to the semantic tagging of texts of speciality. We examine the difficulties related to structuring of a terminology in an onto-te...

We introduce Terminology Query Language (TQL), a simple quer...

This paper describes some of the strategies which a language services provider is compelled to adopt to deal with the issue of terminology. It is based on my experience at TransForm GmbH, a small LSP based in Cologne, Germany. Translators soon learn about terminology—how useful it is, how infuriating it can be, and its high potential for causing addictive, time-wasting behaviour (sometimes refe...

There is debate, sometimes heated, about whether population health and public health are identical or different. Discussions of population health involve many terms, such as outcomes, disparities, determinants, and risk factors, which may be us...
