Release Date: 2017-03-07
This volume provides a picture of state-of-the-art studies on terminology at the European level. Addressing a range of linguistic and cultural topics, it illustrates the diversity of terminological approaches, uses and solutions. A variety of national contexts and areas, from economics and law through to gender, environment and education, is explored to illustrate emerging national issues and practices in view of measuring and assessing them against European standards. The book discusses the selection of languages and cultural attitudes that characterize European Union countries, challenging and productive as they can be. It highlights the need to acknowledge differences in specific domains and the necessity to evaluate national policies (or indeed lack of policies) regarding terminological issues, and facilitate communication and dissemination of knowledge.

Professional translators are the crucial link between businesses and their success in international markets. The content they convey across languages very often includes specialised terminology. But how much exactly should translators know about terminology and its management and how should they deal with it? Can translators write like experts without being experts? What tools and technologies can assist translators in the management of terminology? This book provides the results of new research in this area in order to address these questions in detail. For professionals, this book provides a fresh view on practices in terminology management based on empirical data. For translator trainers, it provides a thorough overview of the aspects of terminological theories that are useful for translators, shows how the theory can underpin the design and creation of terminological databases for translators and offers a wide range of ideas for discussion, exercises and examples. For students and trainee translators, it explains why they should bother with terminology management at all and offers guidance on acquiring, storing and using their terminological resources efficiently, dispelling common misconceptions about terms and terminological work. With clear explanations and summaries, activities, discussion points, further reading and links to resources, this book is the ultimate introductory text and reference resource, covering everything translators ever wanted to know about the terminological side of their work.
Court Cultures in the Muslim World
Courts and the complex phenomenon of the courtly society have received intensified interest in academic research over recent decades, however, the field of Islamic court culture has so far been overlooked. This book provides a comparative perspective on the history of courtly culture in Muslim societies from the earliest times to the nineteenth century, and presents an extensive collection of images of courtly life and architecture within the Muslim realm. The thematic methodology employed by the contributors underlines their interdisciplinary and comprehensive approach to issues of politics and patronage from across the Islamic world stretching from Cordoba to India. Themes range from the religious legitimacy of Muslim rulers, terminologies for court culture in Oriental languages, Muslim concepts of space for royal representation, accessibility of rulers, the role of royal patronage for Muslim scholars and artists to the growing influence of European courts as role models from the eighteenth century onwards. Discussing specific terminologies for courts in Oriental languages and explaining them to the non specialist, chapters describe the specific features of Muslim courts and point towards future research areas. As such, it fills this important gap in the existing literature in the areas of Islamic history, religion, and Islam in particular.
