Refining the terminographer's concept-analysis methods: How can phraseology help?
Author(s): Ingrid Meyer and Kristen Mackintoshpp.: 1–26 (26)More LessConcept analysis is both the cornerstone and Achilles ' heel of terminography. This paper describes a linguistically oriented approach to concept analysis, in which terminological phrasemes are seen as potential indicators of conceptual meaning. We propose that phrasemes can assist the terminographer in acquiring conceptual information related to: (1) external influences on the domain, (2) concept identification, (3) concept systems, and (4) particular meaning problems. We conclude that phrasemes provide important conceptual "footholds " for terminologists working in phraseologically rich domains and ideally with machine-readable texts.

Towards a corpus-based approach to terminography
Author(s): Lynne Bowkerpp.: 27–52 (26)More LessIn this paper, we will conduct a preliminary investigation into a relatively new approach to terminography: corpus-based terminography. This subject has thus far received very little attention in the terminology literature, so we will begin by briefly investigating the evolution of corpus-based research in the fields of linguistics and lexicography. We will then move on to examine in more detail the development of the emerging field of corpus-based terminography, including the advantages of adopting a corpus-based approach and the requirements for compiling machine-readable corpora that are useful for termino graphical purposes. Finally, we will briefly consider the tools and methodology required for retrieving terminologically interesting information from such corpora.

Recherche d'équivalences et structuration des réseaux notionnels: Le cas des relations méronymiques
Author(s): Marc Van Campenhoudtpp.: 53–83 (31)More LessTerminologists generally take a conceptual approach which leads them to consider the observed semantic relations between the described concepts. Hence, they are today directing their attention to the works of cognitivists and those who specialize in semantic networks are trying, like them, to build terminological knowledge bases. The object of this paper is to examine the various relations between the constituent parts and the whole, to describe how they interact with the hyponymy (class inclusion), and to view their role in the establishment of equivalences in multilingual terminology. In particular, the typology of meronomic (part-whole) relations proposed by certain cognitivists is compared against the relations which may be observed in nautical terminology.

The prefix post- in contemporary English terminology: Morphology, meaning, and productivity of derivations
Author(s): Rostislav Kocourekpp.: 85–110 (26)More LessThe article is based on a corpus of English words and technical terms obtained from contemporary texts and major up-to-date dictionaries and encyclopedias. It gives a description of "post- " prefixation, its morphology (including derivational patterns of one-word terms and syntactic patterns of multiword terms) and semantics (including motivational ambiguity and definitions). French terms are used for comparison and contrast. Morphological and semantic properties of term-constituting lexemes are examined within the framework of an analysis of lexical productivity, which is defined by three criteria: number of existing derivatives, rules of derivation, and neological potential. The analysis also shows other aspects of derivational productivity: favourite word-class membership, semantic options, and terminologization.

Btmex: A flexible terminological data-management system
Author(s): María Pozzipp.: 111–124 (14)More LessTerm banks of recent creation are characterised by being user-friendly and by providing their users with new features that facilitate the information-retrieval operation, thus making them more efficient. This paper describes BTMEX, the Term Bank of Mexico, as one of these systems. Although it shares with most term banks the storage of the same basic units of information, it offers a wide range of possibilities to retrieve this information, making it one of the most flexible term banks available.

La politique terminologique indonésienne: Esquisse d'un bilan
Author(s): Jerome Samuelpp.: 125–153 (29)More LessThis paper recalls fifty years of terminological policy in Indonesia. In a country where the choice of the future national language was resolved de facto before its independence but where the elite was mostly speaking Dutch, an Indonesian terminology was to be created in the mid-1940s. After independence the history of Indonesian terminological policy is divided into two periods. The first one (1945-1975) is marked by a defeat; the second one (since 1975) by real advances and a sustained terminological cooperation with Malaysia. But today the lack of means still holds up the terminological activity of the Indonesian language agency which is missing a significant part of the terminological production in Indonesia.

Cuisine: A descriptive factor for foods
Author(s): Jean A.T. Penningtonpp.: 155–169 (15)More LessCuisine, the culinary/cultural identity of foods, is one of the descriptive facets (characteristics) included in the International Interface Standard for food databases. The interface was developed to help standardize food descriptive terms and facilitate computerized retrieval and exchange of information from food-related databases. The terms of the cuisine facet may help identify and characterize some foods in databases and allow for specific retrievals of information from those databases. A hierarchy of cuisine terms (i.e., broader and narrower terms) was developed on the basis of information collected from professional and lay literature. The usual (common) name of each cuisine, specific features of the cuisine, and examples of dishes (and their ingredients) that are associated with the cuisine were collected. In addition, the interface factor "Geographic Region or Area" was reviewed to ensure that the culinary practices of major inhabited land masses were included in the cuisine hierarchy. Eight broad groups of cuisine origin were identified; 153 cuisines (including broader and narrower terms) are currently included in the hierarchy.
