Sommario/riassunto |
|
Lexicographie et terminologie: Compatibilité des modèles et des méthodes est un ouvrage portant sur les points de convergence et de divergence des deux disciplines. Les auteurs, tous spécialistes de l'une ou de l'autre, proposent une réflexion historique, théorique ou méthodologique sur diverses préoccupations actuelles les concernant, sur ce qui les rapproche ou, au contraire, sur ce qui les sépare. Chacun d'entre eux jette un éclairage différent et inédit sur les objets en cause (unités lexicales ou termes), ainsi que sur les cadres théoriques et les méthodes auxquelles elles souscrivent. |
