The Importance of Business Terminology in Specialised Translations
Abstract
This paper presents an analysis of the importance of business terminology in specialised translations with a focus on two different scenarios that were identified based on the corpora that were analysed, namely business contracts and business journalese, which require different approaches, instruments and strategies. The aspects that are analysed in this paper include the translation of collocations, the translation of figurative language and the translation of polysemous lexical units. The paper highlights the importance of empowering business translators by ensuring that they have the terminological research competence that will enable them to avoid and resolve ambiguities, to identify terminological equivalences and to enhance the quality of their translations.
