TERMINOLOGICAL DICTIONARIES, 1985–1990
This annotated index lists terminological dictionaries published in Lithuania in 1985–1990.
The material was compiled from the “Press Chronicle” (1985–1990) and library catalogues. All the dictionaries listed here have been examined.
Each dictionary entry provides the following information: 1) the languages of the dictionary; 2) its type (explanatory, bilingual or multilingual translation dictionary, etc.); 3) its scope; 4) the arrangement of terms (nested—unnested; systematic—alphabetical); 5) whether stress marks are indicated; 6) whether it was reviewed by the Terminology Group of the Institute of the Lithuanian Language (formerly the Institute of the Lithuanian Language and Literature), and whether incorrect terms, letters, calques, barbarisms, etc. were included; 7) the intended use of the dictionary or glossary.
Note. The titles use the terms dictionary and glossary inconsistently. In some cases, a substantial publication (220 or more pages) is called a glossary, while elsewhere a small publication (about 40 pages) is called a dictionary. In the descriptions of dictionaries and glossaries, an effort has been made to distinguish between these terms.
