Abstract

From Term to Common Word; the Role of Dictionaries

The popularisation of science leads to terminological neologisms being used in common  language. These neological terms may undergo a determinologisation process and, as a consequence, acquire a new meaning which is different to the specialised one. Research into linguistic terms based on the comparison of a general language dictionary, the Dictionary of the Catalan Language (Diccionari de la llengua catalana, DIEC2), with two specialised dictionaries on linguistics was carried out. The results show that terms are treated in a similar way in both specialised and general dictionaries without reflecting the conceptual distinction between terms and common words.
