Term Formation – Is There a State of the Art?

Abstract

The article discusses theoretical problems of term formation with respect to the tradition as well as to recent developments of terminology theory. Terminology theory has been challenged, discussed and revised during the last three decades. It is asked whether the subfield of term formation has experienced the same sort of theoretical challenging as have other subfields of terminology and whether a clear state of the art of term formation can be identified. Existing models of term formation are discussed and the main positions of some modern approaches are outlined and discussed with respect to the consequences these approaches might have for theoretical and practical terminology work.The article argues that any attempt at developing a theory of term formation must take into account primary as well as secondary term formation. Functional aspects of terms are interesting to practitioners and hence, relevant to theory. The article agrees that the question of a specific theory of term formation perhaps still is open, but suggests that a more modest approach to ‘theorising’ term formation in all its aspects should be encouraged.

1. INTROduCTION
Te minology is a he co e o any language de elopmen . The ques ion
o i s heo e ical unde pinning has been deal wi h wi hin language plan-
ning as well as in e minology. The concep o he “ e m” is co e ed by
any majo ex book and manual o e minology. In hei well-known ex -
book, He ibe Pich and Jenni e D askau (Pich , D askau 1985: 35)
poin ed o he issue o e m o ma ion as one o he impo an sub ields
o e minology ha was s ill in need o s udying. Appa en ly, howe e ,
he s a us o e m o ma ion has no a ac ed he same deg ee o a en-

When mode n e minology s a ed o lou ish in he 1970s and 80s a
numbe o scien i ic inspi a ions, heo ies and me hodologies we e b ough
in o co-exis ence o o m a new mul idisciplina y ield o esea ch whose
main pu pose was o enhance specialis communica ion ac oss linguis ic
ba ie s. The e is no doub ha he heo e ical p inciples es ablished by
Eugen Wüs e ha e been uni e sally ecognised as he basic ene s o
e minology, encompassing concep heo y, de ini ions and e m o ma-
ion, a he same ime as d awing a clea line o dema ca ion be ween
e minology and lexicog aphy. This mul i-disciplina y ield is o en e e ed
o as he “Gene al Theo y o Te minology” o simply GTT.
In hei wellknown a icle om 1993 Ch is e Lau én and H. Pich
(Lau én, Pich 1993) poin ed o he coexis ence o di e en “schools”
wi hin e minology. In he impo an Canadian (Quebec) app oach he
concep o e minological neology was in oduced by Guy Rondeau
(“néonymie”, c . Rondeau 1984). The analysis p o ided by Ch. Lau én
and H. Pich (Lau én, Pich 1993: 527) concluded ha al hough he p in-
ciples o he GTT we e accep ed, he e minology in Quebec placed a
la ge emphasis on linguis ics.

This endency can be gene alised: The e ha e been, acco ding o John
Humbley, wo main app oaches o e minology de elopmen and s udies:
On peu di ise les app oches héo iques en deux g andes endances: une p e-

nological e lexion in in e disciplina i y, and a second demanding an exclusi e

F om he 1990s he Wüs e ian ene s ha e been challenged, modi ied
o e en eplaced by a numbe o al e na i e app oaches. S uc u alis
concep heo y has been eplaced by cogni i e app oaches and he Wüs-

line o discussion has been e minology’s ela ionship o linguis ics – is i
a linguis ic discipline o no ? – as well as ha o “p esc ip i ism”: i has
been a gued ha he main pu pose o e minology should be empi ical,

sequen ly, any app oach o he sub ield o e m o ma ion mus deal

2. THe PRObLem OF STATe OF THe ART
The ques ion o s a e o he a has mos ecen ly been discussed by
John Humbley in a majo monog aphy and a sho e a icle (Humbley
2018a, Humbley 2018b). A e e iewing a as ange o s udies as well
as e m o ma ion models, he asks:

And he con inues:

3. DeFInInG ‘TeRm FORmATIOn’

One pa icula p oblem caused by he de ini ion o TF1 abo e is he
s a us o he bina y app oach o he linguis ic sign as we ind in he w i -
ings o Fe dinand de Saussu e as well as in he Wüs e ian app oach. The
concep o “ e m” is deal wi h sligh ly di e en ly in lexicog aphy / lex-
icology and in he Wüs e ian app oach o e minology: in lexicog aphy
he associa ion o exp ession and con en is seen as a bi a y, ye solida y,
and lexicog aphy deals, consequen ly, wi h lexemes. B oadly exp essed,
lexicog aphy is semasiological whe eas e minology is onomasiological.
The aim o lexicog aphy is he desc ip ion o language and, consequen -
ly, any analysis depa s om he exp ession le el, he “wo ds” as hey
appea in spoken o w i en language.
Te minology, on he o he hand, is conce ned wi h he ela ionship
be ween he h ee main elemen s objec , concep and ep esen a ion, as
exp essed by ISO 704:
This In e na ional S anda d <…> desc ibes he links be ween objec s, concep s,
and hei e minological ep esen a ions. (ISO 704 2002: i emph. Jm)

The objec s a e ca ego ised in o classes co esponding o uni s o knowl-

app oach o he Saussu ean a bi a iness o he linguis ic sign is in he
ypical Wüs e ian app oach mo e adical han in lexicog aphy, because
e ms and concep s a e assumed o ha e some so o exis ence indepen-

Die Wiene Schule i ü eine kla e T ennung zwischen beg i und benen-

nungen”. [The ienna school ad oca es a clea di ision be ween concep and
e m; i speaks o “ he ealm o concep s” and he “ ealm o e ms”.] (Lau én,
Pich 1993: 530).
This posi ion has been much discussed wi hin he anks o e minology;
i is no wi hou nuances and has been s ongly e u ed by ecen cogni i -
is and sociolinguis ic app oaches (c . sec ion 6, below). Fo he pu pose
o his discussion he de ini ion o TF1 has been made su icien ly “lexi-
cog aphical” o include lexicog aphy as well as di e en app oaches o
e minology. The elemen o “ e m” may be seen as a simple label wi hin
a bina y sign, o as a lexeme ans e ed om gene al language o se e
as he designa ion o a scien i ic concep . In bo h cases he concep ep-
esen a ions a e linguis ic elemen s o med by he epe oi e o mechanisms

whe he he ou come be lexemes o me e linguis ic labels.
Fu he mo e, e ms (designa ions) a e iewed in e minology as he e -

7. THe “nO FIxeD bOunDARIeS” APPROACH
The heo e ical ques ions discussed abo e aised some in e es in he
yea s ollowing 2000, amongs o he s a he IITF colloquium in 2001,
“Te minology a he c oss oads” (TSR 2002) and in a book w i en by
Ch. Lau én, H. Pich , Johan myking and Jónsson (Lau én, myking, Pich ,
Jónsson 2008), in oducing he “no Fixed bounda ies” app oach. Two o
he heses om he la e publica ion ead as ollows (Lau én, myking,
Pich , Jónsson 2008: 45 ., 68 .):
- The e a e no ixed bounda ies be ween specialised communica ion
and o he o ms o communica ion.
- The e a e, consequen ly, no ixed bounda ies be ween e ms and
ocabula y and ph aseology in gene al.
And, u he , pleading ha language managemen is a legi ima e ac i i y:
- Bo h language usage and language sys em a e subjec o manage-
men (op. ci ., 140 .)
To hese heses we migh add a ou h:
- The e a e no ixed bounda ies be ween desc ip i e and p esc ip i e
implica ions o one and he same p inciple.
P esc ip i e measu es mi o o some ex en empi ical ac s, and s.
The p inciple o mo i a ion is one s iking example: used as a basic p in-
ciple o e m o ma ion, c . R. Kocou ek 1991 (abo e), i is in ended as
a desc ip i e and explana o y p inciple. I does no map, howe e , he

en e ms, bu e ms mo i a ed o he wise also dese e o be assigned
impo ance wi hin e minology, c . he example qua k, abo e.
One s iking example o his “mi o ing” is he “analogue p inciple” in
seconda y e m o ma ion, as o mula ed by K. aleon is and e. man za i:
Acco ding o he analogue ule, “when o ming a e m in a a ge language in

language, he name ’s i s choice should be o apply a e m- o ma ion
mechanism analogous o he e m- o ma ion mechanism used o he sou ce
language e m”. ( aleon is, man za i 2006)
In e es ingly, ISO 704 also indica es a “coun e analogy” p inciple:
E en hough bo owing om o he languages is an accep ed o m o e m o -
ma ion, na i e-language exp essions should be gi en p e e ence o e di ec

Con lic ing p esc ip i e goals a e no news in language managemen .
mo e impo an is, howe e , he ac ha he analogue p inciple has a

The o ma ion, dominance o ailu e o e ms can p obably o a la ge

One pa icula ins ance o seconda y e m o ma ion could illus a e

Based on hese examples he ollowing p obable ou comes o seconda y

This is he same ype o insigh ha was exp essed by Zip ’s law in
1935 and is oday well in eg a ed in p agma ic heo y (G ice’s ‘coope a i e

heo e ical app oach o language planning was soon o go en, i con eys

hough he ou come o language managemen can ne e be gua an eed,
language managemen is s ill a legi ima e ac i i y (Lau én, myking, Pich ,

Applied on a ‘comple e domain’ (c . Kageu a 2002), we could hope o

easonable. The endencies ou lined abo e ha e been subs an ia ed o some

Admi edly all o hese p inciples, including ISO 704, could o cou se
be ejec ed as pu e common sense o ein e p e a ions o linguis ic pu -
ism. Being a linguis ics-based discipline, e minology also has o deal

8. TeRmInOLOGy: “LInGuISTICS” OR “ACTI ISm”?
When heo ising e minology, i is impo an o ake in o accoun i s

2 5Te minologija | 2020 | 27
hough in a “libe al” sense, e minology is a scien i ic ac i i y dealing
wi h language (Lau én, myking, Pich 1998: 353). I J. Humbley (Hum-
bley 2018b: 437) is igh in claiming ha e m o ma ion has been pushed
aside as an issue o heo e ical deba e o lack o p ac ical applica ion
alue, hen he ques ion a ises on how o ( e)include i in o he heo-
e ical de elopmen o e minology.
P ima y s seconda y e m o ma ion c osses he dis inc ion o spon-
aneous s delibe a e e m o ma ion. While some new app oaches insis

ha “delibe a e” seconda y e m o ma ion is pa and pa cel o any e -

Building heo y and o mula ing hypo heses o he ype ou lined in

amongs o he s, such ac i i ies allow o assessing his o he p ac ical

One may, again, ecall V. Tauli, whose p inciples a e a use ul and heo y-
based ame o e e ence o language planning al hough hey do no allow
o s ic p edic ions.
This means pleading o he inclusion o p esc ip i e as well as desc ip-

o e m o ma ion will ha e o sa is y a wide se o p e equisi es:
– Recognise ha heo ising e m o ma ion mus include p ima y as
well as seconda y e m o ma ion as al eady s a ed; nei he is less

– Recognise ha he e a e no ixed bounda ies be ween cogni i e

In esponse o J. Humbley’s ques ion ci ed in he in oduc ion o his

In esponse o TF1, a heo y o e m o ma ion will ha e o accoun

a e easily explained by linguis ic heo y, so in ha espec he ques ion
is i ial. I “wo d o ma ion” is de ined as “ o ma ion o designa ions”
all such phenomena become ele an , as is signalled by he shi o e -
minology om “wo d” o “designa ion”. Te m o ma ion canno be e-

2) no e minology ac i i y can a oid he emphasis on seconda y e m

3) On he gene al le el i should be kep in mind ha some so o
common ame o e e ence in ac eally is a condi ion o con-
solida ing a e minological “discou se communi y” ac oss linguis ic,
cul u al, o ganisa ional and scien i ic bo de s. I e minology as a
discipline is in e na ional, a common discou se is necessa y o
ensu e i s cohesion. Ins ead o d awing a line o dema ca ion be-

In sec ion 6 i was a gued ha he new app oaches o e minology we e

i sel has no le any deep oo p in s, bu e minology seems o ha e
mo ed in o some so o Kuhnian “no mal science”, as exp essed by a
ecen publica ion:
Whe as he Wüs e ian adi ion had been s ic ly onomasiological, he al e na-

seems ai o conclude ha he eme gence o he al e na i e app oaches

In u u e su eys he e is a possibili y ha his “change” may be seen
as an expansion o he scope o e minology ins ead o he eplacemen
o one app oach wi h ano he . The use o co po a does no make (p e-

Whe e does his lea e he ques ion o e m o ma ion – is he e a s a e
o he a o no ? J. Humbley’s answe o his own ques ion, as ci ed in
sec ion 1, eads: “ he ques ion o a speci ic heo y o e m o ma ion

The p esen a icle does no con ibu e o a solu ion o his p oblem,
and he conclusions may appea unsa is ac o y. The subjec is oo la ge

pa ys eo iniai pokyčiai, kaip i ki ose e minologijos mokslo s i yse, i a galima nu-
s a y i aiškią pažangą e minų da yboje. S aipsnio išei ies aškas y a du s a būs klausi-
mai, ku iuos užda ė John Humbley (Humbley 2018a, b): „P oblemą galima iškel i i
eo iniame lygmenyje: kaip bū ų galima paaiškin i isus šiuos naujus e minus?“. Jis
oliau klausia: „A eikia konk ečios e minų da ybos eo ijos su konk ečiais k i e ijais
a už ek ų i ienos, ku i bū ų iesiog žodžių da ybos eo ija?“
S aipsnyje apib ėžiamos d i „ e minų da ybos“ koncepcijos: pi ma, naujų pa a
dinimų (angl. designa ions) kū imo p ocesas naudojan leksikologinius mechanizmus
(TF1); an a, e minologijos mokslo s i is, dėmesį k eipian i į kū ybinį aspek ą i į
no minius i unkcinius e minų aspek us (TF2). Ap a iami esami e minų da ybos
modeliai (TF1), ypa ingą dėmesį k eipian į R. Kocou ek’o (1991) mo y acinę ipolo-
giją i ski ingas mo y acijos są okos implikacijas.
Apib ėžiamos i ap a iamos kai ku ios pas a ojo me o eo inės p ieigos, susijusios
su e minų da yba. K. Kageu a (2002) i R. Temme man (2000) nusipelno ypa ingo
dėmesio i y a laikomi s a biomis „ y imo p og amomis“, pab ėžiančiomis pi minės
e minų da ybos y imų s a bą i pasisakančiomis už e minologiją kaip desk ip y inę,
empi inę i ling is inę discipliną. S aipsnyje paneigiamas šiuose da buose iš eikš as
požiū is, kad p esk ip y inių aspek ų eo iniuose s a s ymuose apie e minologiją ne-
u ė ų lik i.
Požiū is „Jokių g iež ų ibų“ (Lau én e al. 2008) pab ėžia, kad a p e minų i
bend inių žodžių nė a jokių aiškių ibų, aigi nė a i g iež ų ibų a p desk ip y inių
