Terminologies, Lexical Hierarchies and other Configurations

Original language description

The focus of the monograph Terminologies, lexical hierarchies and other configurations is on hierarchical systems of lexical items, particularly in scientific terminologies. It includes some of the research outcomes from the dissertation Lexical Hierarchies in the Scientific Terminology, which are supplemented with a broadly conceived introduction to the typology of lexical and semantic relations and to a variety of branching and non-branching hierarchies, proportional series and other types of lexical configurations. It analyses the principles of formation of terminological classificatory hierarchies and identifies sense relations between items at superordinate and subordinate levels, as well as between those at the same level. Analogous hierarchies have been compared in English, Czech and Latin terminologies. Although a virtually identical objective reality is reflected in scientific terminological hierarchies, specific morphological and onomatological properties of different languages influence considerably the consistency and transparency of corresponding lexical hierarchies. The analytic section of the monograph draws a comparison between formation of terms in English and in Czech, emphasising differences between taxonomies and meronomies, superordinate and subordinate taxonomic levels, and hierarchies in natural and social sciences.
