Towards a Model for Terminology Planning Abolfazl Zarnikhi TESI DOCTORAL UPF /ANY 2014 DIRECTORA DE LA TESI Dra. M. Teresa Cabré Castellví (Institut Universitari de Linguistica Aplicada, Universitat Pompeu Fabra) i ii iii iv Acknowledgments Back home, I was acquainted with the ABC of Terminology by Dr. Shahin Nematzadeh. Then Professor Yahya Modarresi and Professor Reza Mansouri supervised my MA dissertation. I owe a great deal to them. I am deeply indebted to Professor Teresa Cabre accepted and encouraged me for doing a PhD. I express my sincere gratitude to Mercè Lorente Casafont, Núria Bel Rafecas and Jorge Vivaldi Palatresi. If I want to talk about how my colleagues at IULA have responsibly behaved towards me, it requires a separate “thesis” in itself. I will never forget how much Sylvie Hochart Laurent, Vanessa Alonso de la Fuente, Natalia Seghezzi and Marcela Rivadeneira were of help, especially in the early days of Barcelona. Last but not least, I thank directors and staff of Termcat, TNC and DGLFLF for their incisive comments when I took academic trips to visit their agencies. The present thesis was financially supported by IULA for two years. v Abstract This research is based on the hypothesis that all terminological activities are founded upon some fundamental principles which, at the same time, are manifested in sociolinguistic context-bound variations or parameters. Answering the research questions, the thesis gains an advantage of employing both field research and literature. The former deals with carrying out a comparative study and using a maximum variation sampling technique for gathering data from Termcat, TNC, DGLFLF and the Academy of Persian Language and Literature (APLL). To control the study in a systematic way, a questionnaire concentrating on macro- and micro- structures of the target organizations has been prepared as a route map. The research also derives benefit of literature from more than thirty linguistic situations. The data were first coded and then thematically categorized according to their major similarities. The results came within three components: planning theory, linguistics of science and implementation layers. In the next step, the thesis found the second level of similarities or universal principles. The data processing continued to arrive at minor (universal or restricted) principles. The final form of a terminology planning work is determined by parameters arising out of “values”, put under nodes of principles. The values are, in fact, sociolinguistic potentialities developed and limitations imposed by a specific ecolinguistic environment. vi Resumen Esta investigación se basa en la hipótesis de que todas las actividades terminológicas se fundamentan en algunos principios fundamentales, principios que, al mismo tiempo, se manifiestan en variaciones o parámetros relaciona con el contexto sociolingüístico. Para responder a las preguntas de investigación, la tesis utiliza tanto el trabajo de campo como la bibliografíala. En relación al trabajo de campo, se ha realizado un estudio comparativo de cuatro centros de Terminología (Termcat, TNC, DGLFLF y la Academia de la lengua persa y Literatura (APLL), usando una técnica de muestreo de máxima variación para la recopilación de datos, Para controlar la sistematicidad del estudio, hemos elaborado un cuestionario centrándonos en la microestructura y la macroestructura de las cuatro organizaciones, presentado en forma de hoja de ruta. La investigación presenta además los datos de una treintena de otros casos, a partir de los datos aportados por la bibliografía. Los datos recopilados han sido codificados y luego categorizados temáticamente sobre la base de sus similitudes principales. Los resultados se han organizado en tres componentes: la teoría de la planificación, la lingüística de la ciencia y las fases de aplicación. A continuación hemos analizado el segundo nivel de similitudes o principios universales. A través del procesamiento de los datos hemos establecido a principios de importancia menor (principios restringidos). En definitiva, un proyecto de planificación teinológica se concreta a partir de los parámetros derivados de "valores" o principios. Los valores son, de hecho, potencialidades sociolingüísticas limitadas por el entorno ecolingüístico específico. vii viii Table of contents Chapter 1: Introduction ........................................................... 1 1.1 Why terms? ....................................................................... 3 1.2 Foundation stones ............................................................. 5 1.2.1 The power of language: categorization, meaning creation and its interaction with the material world ............................ 5 1.2.2 Language and science .................................................. 6 1.2.3 Knowledge spread amongst languages ......................... 7 1.2.4 Language and environment ........................................... 9 1.2.5 Native languages: communication ............................... 10 1.2.6 Native languages: socio-economic development .......... 12 1.2.7 Native languages: globalization and glocalization ....... 14 1.3 Core concepts .................................................................... 15 1.3.1 Terminology .................................................................. 15 1.3.2 Terminology planning .................................................. 17 1.3.3 Systems theory ............................................................. 19 1.3.3.1 Systemic terminology ............................................. 21 1.3.3.2 Systemic planning .................................................. 24 1.3.4 What does model mean here? ...................................... 26 ix 1.3.5 Terminology principles and parameters ....................... 29 1.4 Objectives ........................................................................... 32 1.5 Research questions ............................................................ 34 1.6 Methodology ..................................................................... 35 1.7 Organization of the thesis .................................................. 36 Chapter 2: State-of- the-art ..................................................... 37 2.1 Comparative studies in language planning ........................ 37 2.2 Language planning models ............................................... 38 2.3 Comparative studies in terminological activities .............. 42 2.4 Studies on terminology planning ...................................... 46 2.5 Studies on models for terminology planning .................... 57 2.6 A comprehensive summary ................................................ 71 Chapter 3: Theoretical framework ......................................... 72 3.1 Language policy ................................................................. 73 3.2 Language planning ............................................................ 74 3.3 Historical evolution of language planning theories........... 77 3.4 Language of science planning ........................................... 82 3.4.1 Linguistics of science ................................................... 85 3.4.1.1 Application of linguistics of science in terminology x
