Abstract:

This paper addresses the dynamics of terms and meaning in specialised communication by means of a semantic investigation into the domain of machining terminology in French. Studying meaning in specialised language raises two main research questions: how to identify terms or specialised entities in a technical corpus and how to study their meaning. In order to answer these questions, a double quantitative analysis is conducted, consisting of the identification and quantification of specialised vocabulary as well as the quantification of the semantic analysis by means of a monosemy measure. This approach requires the use of computer tools and scripting language and involves a statistical analysis in order to come to linguistic conclusions. Accordingly, this study aims to question the univocity ideal in a quantitative way. It focuses on the methodology and shows that an interdisciplinary approach can yield valuable results

Abstract:

Background: Specialist certification among interdisciplinary multiple sclerosis (MS) team members provides formal recognition of a specialized body of knowledge felt to be necessary to provide optimal care to individuals and families living with MS. Multiple sclerosis specialist certification (MS Certified Specialist, or MSCS) first became available in 2004 for MS interdisciplinary team members, but prior to the present study had not been evaluated for its perceived value, challenges, and satisfaction. Methods: A sample consisting of 67 currently certified MS specialists and 20 lapsed-certification MS specialists completed the following instruments: Perceived Value of Certification Tool (PVCT), Perceived Challenges and Barriers to Certification Scale (PCBCS), Overall Satisfaction with Certification Scale, and a demographic data form. Results: Satisfactory reliability was shown for the total scale and four factored subscales of the PVCT and for two of the three factored PCBCS subscales. Currently certified MS specialists perceived significantly greater value and satisfaction than lapsed-certification MS specialists in terms of employer and peer recognition, validation of MS knowledge, and empowering MS patients. Lapsed-certification MS specialists reported increased confidence and caring for MS patients using evidence-based practice. Both currently certified and lapsed-certification groups reported dissatisfaction with MSCS recognition and pay/salary rewards. Conclusions: The results of this study can be used in efforts to encourage initial certification and recertification of interdisciplinary MS team members.

Abstract:

One of the most remarkable features of the legal English lexicon is the use of sub-technical vocabulary, that is, words frequently shared by the general and specialised fields which either retain a legal meaning in general English or acquire a specialised one in the legal context. As testing has shown, almost 50% of the terms extracted from BLaRC, an 8.85m word legal corpus, were found amongst the most frequent 2,000 word families of West’s (1953) GSL, Coxhead’s (2000) AWL or the BNC (2007), hence the relevance of this type of vocabulary in this English variety. Owing to their peculiar statistical behaviour in both contexts, it is particularly problematic to identify them and measure their termhood based on such parameters as their frequency or distribution in the general and specialised environments. This research proposes a novel termhood measuring method intended to objectively quantify this lexical phenomenon through the application of Williams’ (2001) lexical network model, which incorporates contextual information to compute the level of specialisation of sub-technical terms.

Abstract:

Between 1200 and 1350, the meaning attributed to the terms ‘emperor’ and ‘empire’ evolved in France to reflect the growth in power of the Capetian-Valois kings and a concomitant decline in the authority exercised by contemporary Romano-German rulers. Both terms were ubiquitous in France in this period. The fact that neither was adopted to describe the expansion of royal power was because, as this article will demonstrate, its growth was considered a consolidation of existing rights and was limited by deep-seated concerns for legitimacy, neither of which fostered imperial comparisons. At the same time, a multi-layered understanding of imperial terminology developed in France. On one level, ‘empire’ and ‘emperor’ became interchangeable with ‘kingdom’ and ‘king’. Yet imperial vocabulary remained highly malleable. Philip IV’s conflict with the papacy led to the development of specific arguments intended to undermine any subordination of French royal authority to external parties. However, far from becoming irrelevant, the terminology of empire became integral to contemporary French political discourse. It offered solutions to otherwise insoluble problems. The article establishes the way in which the office of emperor came to be understood as, simultaneously, a limited form of temporal kingship but one that encompassed a universal role disassociated from government. Imperial terms were transmuted in French thought from an association with the exercise of universal temporal authority to signify a specialised function. This function was usually, but not exclusively, understood as leadership of the crusade.

Abstract:

The rapid burst of electronic databases in the recent decades has led to a boom in specialised terminology meant to describe the structure and way of functioning of these databases. Some of this terminology was borrowed from “common language” vocabulary but used in a specialized technical language. This decision to use existing terms in a new sense, rather than coining new terms for the new concepts, was a questionable one as in some cases this terminology may be misleading, at least in certain contexts. This is the case, in our opinion, with the use of terms expressing genealogical relationships to express hierarchical taxonomic relationships in databases.

Abstract:

Novel metaphorical expressions are understudied in traditional approaches to terminology because they behave as sporadic units incapable of structuring whole discourse events. To show that this assumption is wrong, this paper presents a case study of novel bioeconomics metaphors in an academic marine biology research article (Landa 1998). They were analysed following the Career of Metaphor Theory (Bowdle and Gentner 2005), a framework for the description of novel metaphor in usage, and the text-linguistics approach to term description (Collet 2004), which suggests criteria for term definition that challenge the tenets of monolithic terminology models. The analysis of unexpected metaphors identified in the text suggests that these units should be considered proto-terms experienced as deliberate rhetorical and conceptual devices. Pragmatically speaking, the metaphors are part and parcel of the writer’s discursive strategy to communicate specialised knowledge to her peers. Conceptually speaking, the metaphors are essential building blocks of the article’s mental model.

Abstract:

The article explores the influence of the specialised language on the shaping of the image of the German car brand Volkswagen. The analysed material comprises marketing texts from an image magazine of the Volkswagen Magazin brand, available on the company’s website. The issue will be examined on the basis of the semantic category of Electro Mobility, which constitutes a subcategory of the semantic category of innovation, which in turn is currently the company’s main area of activity and the focus of all actions, also linguistic, in terms of shaping the brand’s image. The specialised language in the texts from the Magazine, a digital journal, whose articles resemble forms of journalistic writing, limits itself mainly to specialist vocabulary – the technical vocabulary referring to automotive technology, as well as pseudo-specialised language, whose role is merely to evoke technical connotations. Both types of specialist terminology contribute to the restoring of the reputation of the brand in the eyes of the consumers, which has been severely affected as a result of the emissions scandal in 2015.

Abstract:

European accounting terminology is dynamic as term creation and formation occurs on national, European Union and international levels. Although English is the lingua franca of accounting, international accounting standards in English exist on a par with their translations into other languages. However, an analysis of online dictionaries shows that these cannot cope with the dynamic nature of accounting terminology. We discuss a network of internet dictionaries in English, Danish, and Spanish that was compiled using the functional approach to specialised lexicography. We show how terminologists can work in subject fields where culture and context play a key role in the development of nationally accepted and internationally recommended terms, and propose ways to remedy deficiencies identified in the dictionaries examined. Finally, we discuss strategies for translating English metaphorical terms into Spanish assuming that bilingual accounting dictionaries should use conceptually similar terms in both source and target languages

Full text

Abstract:

Specialised texts are characterised by, amongst other features, the presence of terminology which conveys domain-specific concepts that are essential for the specialist who is interested in analysing such texts. Automatic Term Recognition methods (ATR) are employed to identify those terms automatically, which is especially helpful in view of the large size of corpora nowadays. However, they tend to concentrate on the identification of Multi-Word Terms (MWTs) neglecting Single-Word Terms (SWTs) to a certain extent. This might be related to the greater number of the former found in fields such as biomedicine. However, so far as legal English is concerned, testing has shown that SWTs represent 65.22 percent of the items in the specialised glossary employed for the evaluation of the ATR methods examined herein. This paper presents the evaluation of five SWT recognition methods, namely, those of Chung (2003) , Drouin (2003) , Kit and Liu (2008) , Keywords (2008), and TF-IDF (term frequency-inverse document frequency). These were tested on the United Kingdom Supreme Court Corpus (UKSCC), a legal corpus of 2.6 million words which was compiled for this purpose. The results indicate that Drouin's TermoStat software is the best performing method, achieving 73.45 percent precision on the top 2,000 candidate terms.

Full text

Abstract:

The evolutionary consequences of generalised versus specialised habit is a central issue in organismal biology. Theory predicts that specialist species may have greater capabilities than generalist species in particular habitats but will not be able to maintain this excellence across a broad range of habitats. The evolutionary consequences of ecological specialisation, in terms of functional capabilities, were investigated in the lizard genus Niveoscincus from Tasmania. Breadth of microhabitat occupation and ecologically relevant locomotor capabilities were quantified across the genus. Laboratory performance trials demonstrated that some species excelled in just a few of the five performance traits measured, while other species performed well at all traits but did not excel at any. Results of comparative analyses demonstrate that there is a significant evolutionary correlation between microhabitat breadth and range of locomotor capabilities. These results provide convincing evidence that habitat specialists have a correspondingly limited range of locomotor capabilities.

Abstract:

This corpus-based research deals with the translation of metaphor in specialised texts. In these texts, metaphor is both a cognitive tool and aesthetic device. Some metaphors, particularly those which create a new similarity, seem to develop into technical terms, and this can cause translation problems. The study focuses on metaphors for ‘inflation’ in English economics texts, and their translation into Spanish. The translation strategies are analysed and their results assessed.

Abstract:

This article describes the “Dictionary of Economics” in terms of the Function Theory of Lexicography. It defends the thesis that such information tools must be designed for assisting specific users to solve the specific needs they have in a translation situation. In particular, I will focus on the solutions offered for individualising data retrieval, which will in turn eliminate the so-called information stress or information death produced when users retrieve so much data that they cannot cope with it. This process is illustrated in two recent online dictionaries, the Diccionario Inglés-Español de Contabilidad: Traducción (Fuertes-Olivera et al. 2012a) and the Diccionario Inglés-Español de Contabilidad: Traducción de Frases y Expresiones (Fuertes-Olivera et al. 2012b). They are especially suitable when translating English accounting texts into Spanish. These two dictionaries are considered high quality 21st Century dictionaries, e.g., as candidates for assisting in the training of professional translators within the field of Economics, one of the topics discussed in this Special Issue of Hermes.

Abstract:

School is not the only institution that educates children and provides them with specialised information. Television also contributes substantially to education. The article deals with the question of how the authors of educational programmes for children handled the difficult task of educating children while capturing their attention at the same time. This issue is examined using the example of selected German and Czech television programmes for children with the topic of biology, and attention is paid especially to the choice of language when working with specialised terms and to the specific procedures of defining or explaining them. Also monitored is whether or not the strategy of introducing new specialised terms in the analysed children programmes is different in terms of quality from the strategies applied in popular science programmes for adults with comparable topics.

Abstract:

Due to the enormous development of science and technology in recent times, English has become the leading language for conveying specialised knowledge. Conversely, in Galicia, the study of specialised discourse has remained largely unexplored until the very end of the last century, when Galician achieved the status of co-official language within the Spanish State. This article presents an analytical and descriptive approach to the notion of specialised discourse with three objectives. First of all, it attempts to clarify the aforementioned concept, as well as its distinctive features, in order to identify potential differences and similarities in terms of how experts belonging to the English and Galician-speaking worlds understand and use specific-domain languages. Secondly, it aims to conduct a quantitative and qualitative corpus-based comparison of the most relevant morphosyntactic features in English and Galician specialised discourse, with a particular focus on the field of medical writing. Lastly, this article also intends to fill a significant gap in Galician linguistic studies, where research on specific-domain languages remains a pending issue. To attain these objectives, a corpus-based cross-linguistic comparison of English and Galician specialised discourse is carried out based on twenty-four research articles. By means of which, the most representative morphosyntactic characteristics of specialised texts are analysed, interpreted and discussed in depth for both languages. The results reveal that English and Galician domain-specific languages present far more similarities than might be expected at first, the most notable differences being those inherent to the specificity of each linguistic system.

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction. The medicine management is considered an important area of health care, which is ensured by various healthcare professionals including nurses. Nurses gain the competence of medicines administration immediately after graduation. This competence can be applied to any area of healthcare. Even in specialized settings such as intensive care units, any additional qualification e.g. specialized education is not required. On the contrary, appropriate education is considered an important factor that could help to reduce the risk of adverse events related to medication management. Aim. The aim of this study was to analyse the students’ knowledge in this field at the end of nursing studies at bachelor level (n = 67) and specialized intensive care nursing studies at master level (n = 42). Methodology. Knowledge was assessed using a written test, which was related to the management of medicinal products administered commonly at intensive care units by qualified nurses as well as nurse specialists without distinction. From the point of view of the formal competencies of healthcare professionals, the questions were divided into three categories. Results. The mean success rate on the test was 53.4%. The highest range of knowledge was demonstrated by already qualified students at the end of specialised studies with prior work experience in ICU, the lowest by students just before graduation. The highest rating was achieved by all students in the activity-oriented category for which the responsibility lies primarily with the medical doctor, but nurses were expected to have this knowledge and participate at related activities on the basis of a physician’s order. This knowledge included also the area of clinical pharmacology. On the other hand, the lowest score was achieved by all groups of students in the category of activities that are not treated by the physician’s order, and the use of diverse knowledge from different areas was usually necessary. Conclusions. Clinical practice has an irreplaceable role for nurses in the process of qualifying education as well as lifelong learning. The extent of nursing education in medicine management, the manner of nursing training, as well as the proportion of nursing specialists in the nursing team at specialised workplaces, deserves much greater attention in terms of ensuring safe care in this area. Shifting some competencies and duties in medicine management, especially related to intravenous (IV) therapy, to less qualified healthcare professionals appears to be highly controversial and risky.

Abstract:

SummaryIntroduction: This article is part of the Focus Theme of Methods of Information in Medicine on “Managing Interoperability and Complexity in Health Systems”.Background: The proliferation of archetypes as a means to represent information of Electronic Health Records has raised the need of binding terminological codes – such as SNOMED CT codes – to their elements, in order to identify them univocally. However, the large size of the terminologies makes it difficult to perform this task manually.Objectives: To establish a baseline of results for the aforementioned problem by using off-the-shelf string comparison-based techniques against which results from more complex techniques could be evaluated.Methods: Nine Typed Comparison Methods were evaluated for binding using a set of 487 archetype elements. Their recall was calculated and Friedman and Nemenyi tests were applied in order to assess whether any of the methods outperformed the others.Results: Using the qGrams method along with the ‘Text’ information piece of archetype elements outperforms the other methods if a level of confidence of 90% is considered. A recall of 25.26% is obtained if just one SNOMED CT term is retrieved for each archetype element. This recall rises to 50.51% and 75.56% if 10 and 100 elements are retrieved respectively, that being a reduction of more than 99.99% on the SNOMED CT code set.Conclusions: The baseline has been established following the above-mentioned results. Moreover, it has been observed that although string comparison-based methods do not outperform more sophisticated techniques, they still can be an alternative for providing a reduced set of candidate terms for each archetype element from which the ultimate term can be chosen later in the more-than-likely manual supervision task.

Abstract:

This study aims at the analysis of the lexicon in English of the two professional areas, telecommunications and finance, affected by the crises of the recent years: the 90s dot-com bubble and the present-day Credit Crunch. Both crises share a common context of wealth and cultural complexity, being the root for the coinage of innovative specialised terms and collocations. Our study is specifically aimed at unveiling the lexical coverage of both crises, in terms of technolects and their context, evolving in several phases. First, two corpora of specialised, semi-specialised and general texts from the domains’ digital periodicals will be characterized according to lexical relevance and terminological volume, to see the extent in which they are lexically connected or diverge when experiencing a critical situation like a crisis. Finally, clarifying how far these two disciplines have related during the last critical years will hopefully provide some clues for the lexical ethnography of two institutionalised ways of thinking.

Abstract:

In this article I present an on-going study of the use of web-based corpora to detect Norwegian terminology and in particular financial neologisms. With an ever increasing influence from English in the domain, the use of anglicisms such as ‘dobbeldipp’ (‘double dip’) or ‘shortsalg’ (‘short selling’) is increasing rapidly. The study focuses on how to detect these specialised neologisms and also possible Norwegian terms that are formed. Three different corpora are used, i.e., the Norwegian Newspaper Corpus (NNC), Peter Warrens finansblogg (PW) and a blog on a research project which focuses on the financial crisis called Crisis, restructuring and Growth (KOV). The aim is to gather terminological information which can be useful in the NHH Termbase, an online, web-based termbase to be used by students, lecturers and researchers at the Norwegian School of Economics (NHH).

Full text

Abstract:

This paper presents the first results of a new method for terminology extraction based on distributional analysis. The intuition behind the algorithm is that single or multi-word lexical units that refer to specialised concepts will show a characteristic co-occurrence pattern, described as a tendency to appear in the same contexts with other conceptually related terms. E.g. the term fluoxetine will systematically appear in the same sentences with other related terms such as depression, serotonin reuptake inhibitor, obsessive–compulsive disorder and others. Of course, terms will co-occur with general vocabulary units as well, but not with a characteristic pattern as when a conceptual relation holds. Experimental evaluation of this method was conducted in a corpus of psychiatry journals from Spain and Latin America, and concluded that the results are significantly better than other methods.

Abstract:

This paper assesses the farm-level impacts of trade liberalisation and CAP removal across EU using IFM-CAP (Individual Farm Model for CAP Analysis). IFM-CAP is a static positive programming model developed to capture the full heterogeneity of EU farms in terms of feedback to policy representation and impacts. Simulation results show that a small set of farm-types experience an increase in income due to the improvement in prices and yields (e.g. farms specialised in granivores, milk and horticulture), while farms that are most CAP subsidy dependent (e.g. specialist cattle, specialist COP and small farms) lose income by more than 12% at aggregate EU level. As much as 77% of all farms lose income if CAP is removed, while the proportion of most income vulnerable farms almost doubles.

Abstract:

Driven by a shortage of studies on the morphosemantics of word-formation from a contrastive perspective, this article examines 200 English and Spanish terms from the olive oil industry with the aim of shedding light on their linguistic nature. This is achieved by use of a corpus which makes it possible to retrieve the units and their contexts from specialised texts. Besides considering the derivational features of the relevant terminogenesic processes, this investigation considers their semantic characteristics and connects the terms’ formal and meaning aspects. This, in turn, allows observing the close relationship between morphology and semantics in terminological spheres, which is directly linked with the role of these units as a tool for specialised communication. Once the morphosemantic features of the terms have been fully accounted for in English and Spanish individually, a comparison is drawn between the two languages in order to spot and describe similarities and differences.

Abstract:

Terminology is henceforth based on textual analysis, although its methodology remains paradigmatic. Concordances need to be interpreted, and a theory of combinations is needed. In this article, Harris’ (1968, 1976, 1988) « operator-argument » theory is used, though words, concepts and terms are strictly distinguished. Specialised texts are made up of words as are every text, but some of them denote special concepts, and these are terms. The case of nectar de fruits, as used in EU regulations and FAO Codex alimentarius and on corporate websites, is used to show the relevance of combinatory analysis of concepts and of terms in establishing the ontology of the fruit industry.

Abstract:

Although fashion is a topic of chief relevance in our society, its linguistic characteristics have attracted little attention among researchers. Facing the challenge of combining two different, but arguably complementary, perspectives — the Frame-Based Terminology model and Relevance Theory —, this paper focuses on English and French neologisms in the language of fashion. The data, extracted from top quality Spanish women’s fashion magazines, have been examined as signals of specialised language. The analysis shows that the correct interpretation of the terms rests on a specific set of relations and roles, but also on their lexical expansion, which satisfies the expectations of expert readers and general public.

Abstract:

This paper describes an automatic procedure for morphosemantic analysis and translation of compound medical terms. This analysis is of interest for the automatic indexation of medical discharge reports and summaries. Since words with the suffix -osis may have many different semantic interpretations, such -osis forms are taken as examples for a general method that avoids the difficulties in interpreting medical terms as reported in other studies.

Abstract:

The present work analyses 8 models of social marketing (1984-2008) that appear in the specialised literature. Because each of them presents important elements, here appeared the necessity of an integrative simplified model. The premises for creating the T Model for the implementation of social marketing in the Republic of Moldova are: the need for behavioural change programs, the limited development of social marketing, low knowledge of health specialists on the concept of social marketing, creative but fragmented use of social campaigns to promote a healthy lifestyle. The T Model can be taken over by other countries where the concept of social marketing is not sufficiently promoted and where public health specialists do not have advanced knowledge in this field. The model is a practical tool, described in terms of: the basic principles, the conceptual scheme and the methodological steps of implementation.

Abstract:

Previous research has reported that the families of children with enduring and life-limiting health conditions are at risk of negative psychosocial effects. Adjunct to medical interventions, specialist camp programmes have been developed to promote familial adjustment. However, limited research has been carried out in this area. The aim of this study was to describe the core features and outcomes of a specialised camp programme for children with life-limiting conditions (LLC) and their family. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with four professionals, three volunteers involved in facilitating the programme and two mothers representing families that attended the programme. Multiple perspectives were sought to gain a detailed understanding of the programme and outcomes. Data were analysed through an inductive thematic approach. There was considerable overlap among participant groups on the core features and outcomes of the programme. Thematically, core features are described in terms of familial togetherness, peer interaction, safety and positive experiences. Noted outcomes include lasting memories, continued peer relations for parents and siblings and enhancement of relationships between family members and professionals. Findings suggest that specialised camp programmes may provide families of children with LLC with positive experiences that support adjustment, although further research is required.

Abstract:

Education in a specialised class is considered as a social factor influencing the identity of intellectually and academically gifted primary school children. An analysis of the empirical results of the study of social and personal identity of intellectually and academically gifted third-formers studying in a specialised class is given. The identity of gifted pupils is multilevel, multicomponent, in terms of differentiation, it is ahead of the development of the identity of their peers. Most gifted children in a specialised class are satisfied with their identity. At the same time, the problems of environmental friendliness of differentiation of classes by the level of academic success are noted. Peers of gifted children attending the same school often have a negative identity, that is, negative self-perception.

AbstractObjective:To describe the pathophysiology of biofilm communities and their role in otorhinolaryngological disease, with reference to the published literature.Design:Review of relevant literature, using Medline and the combined search terms ‘biofilms’ and ‘otorhinolaryngology’, and also various related keywords such as ‘tonsil’ and ‘adenoid’.Results:Description of biofilm pathophysiology and of published reports of biofilms in otorhinolaryngological disease.Conclusion:Virtually all microbes live in biofilm communities. Within these communities, the microbes assume differing specialised roles which confer survival advantages on the community. These communities cause chronic and device-associated infections. Within the specialist field of otorhinolaryngology, biofilms have been shown to play a role in many infections, including: chronic otitis media, cholesteatoma, chronic tonsillitis, chronic sinusitis, and infections of tracheostomies, endotracheal tubes and cochlear implants.

Abstract:

Our societies are undergoing a process of transformation entailing new challenges. One of these challenges includes the urgency to address certain needs that arise from the rate of change affecting the multilingual and multicultural societies in which we live. In turn, new technologies, which involve the inevitable creation of new terms, are evolving rapidly as we try to incorporate them into our daily business. We live, therefore, with terminology, whether we are experts or not. In fact, there are a number of institutions with which we have an almost daily relationship and which have their own specialised languages. The question is how to handle these situations, what problems arise therein, and what the most immediate solutions are when this kind of event occurs in environments where terminology, specialised languages, and less widely used languages come into play. Throughout this chapter, and using all of the available information relevant to this matter, I will attempt to answer the following questions: Is specialised language used as part of the interaction between service providers and external users in the public services sector? How do participants handle such specific terminology? What types of documentation do mediators/translators and interpreters have access to? What strategies do they use when translating concepts or expressions into the target language? How reliable is their work? Is special training required? Are there specialised resources in less widely spoken languages that meet those needs?

Abstract:

The clinical and criminological literature on adolescents who have committed sexual offences indicates that the pathologisation of young people and a labelling or overly punitive response is likely to be more harmful than rehabilitative. Accordingly, therapeutic counselling and diversionary schemes are seen as preferable to custodial terms in most instances. For adolescents convicted of sex offences, clinicians identify the benefits of comprehensive therapeutic care which involves family and is sensitive to the young person’s context and culture. The benefits of this approach are documented and, although data are limited, indications are that recidivism is reduced where adolescents are provided with specialised counselling to encourage positive and non-abusive behaviours. In Australia, each state and territory has provisions for youth justice clients serving custodial or community orders for sexually abusive behaviours. Yet each jurisdiction experiences challenges in ensuring the delivery of equitable and comprehensive therapeutic services, particularly to regionally and remotely located youth. This paper draws on data from a national study of the therapeutic services to children and adolescents with sexualised or sexual offending behaviours. With attention to the difficulties in providing services to regionally and remotely located adolescents, this paper highlights challenges around lengthy remand terms, the provision of pre-offence diversionary programs, and the provision of specialised supervision for young people serving community orders. For example, jurisdictions with the largest geographic service areas face enormous difficulties in providing specialised supervision for community-based orders. At present, there are several jurisdictions where regionally and remotely located adolescents may serve the duration of a youth justice order without receiving specialised counselling to assist them in modifying their behaviours. The paper identifies the risks where specialised counselling cannot be provided, but also identifies specific initiatives designed to fill these gaps in service provision to youth justice clients.

Abstract:

"Regional Wine Terminology in Western France: a Sociohistorical Corpora-based Terminology. In a highly standardised language like French, wine terminology seems largely influenced by national and supranational standards, marked by specialists and diffused through professional training or specialised publications, for instance. Yet, in general, terms referring to wine are at the same time rooted in a territory. Where do they come from, and how do they pass from one area or group of speakers to another? How do people perceive them? Are they necessarily of vernacular tradition? For the study of regional wine terminology, this article focuses on a traditional wine-growing area in France (Poitou-Charentes). It combines the methods of historical linguistics in order to trace the origin and diffusion of regionalisms retrieved from a contemporary corpus with a sociolinguistic analysis of their status through discourse analysis and enquiries. The article analyses more than twenty dialectal terms, revealing their distribution in time and space as well as their legitimacy in current usage. Keywords: wine terminology, Western France, French historical lexicology, dialectology, sociolinguistic enquiries, discourse analysis."

Abstract:

Today, term variation is commonly accepted to be a widespread phenomenon in specialised communication. Although some degree of arbitrariness is inevitable, the expert’s choice of a term variant is generally motivated to some extent. This article presents a methodology for describing the conceptually motivated patterns of term variation in a real corpus of special language. This method — which analyses the conceptual information displayed on the term’s form — represents an attempt to provide a framework accounting for the flexibility of concepts and conceptual structures in a systematic way. Using data from a bilingual (French and Galician) corpus of texts related to coastal fishing and aquaculture, the applicability of proposed method for analysis is illustrated with a description of the variation patterns pertaining to terms designating human entity concepts within the corpus.

Abstract:

Abstract Background The population of Ireland is ageing and the number of people with dementia in the coming years will be significant and could be as high as 132,000 people by 2041 (Pierce et al 2014). This estimated prediction highlighted the importance and value of developing and implementing interventions that will meet the needs of individuals with dementia and their carers in the community. We identified the need for a cognitive rehabilitation programme in an acute hospital and developed the “Specialised Memory and Attention Rehabilitation Therapy (SMART) Programme”. The aim of the programme is to improve quality of life, cognitive ability and performance of meaningful occupations for individuals with dementia in the community. Methods The SMART programme uses an evidence based approach of education, process training, strategy training and function for delivery to individuals with dementia and their carers. It is a seven week programme with a three month follow up appointment. Weeks one, seven and three month follow up are 1:1 assessments where outcome measures are completed. There is a group intervention programme for five weeks which includes a patient booklet with education sheets, strategy, work and homework sheets as well as functional tasks. Results There was statistically significant results pre and post intervention in the Rivermead Behavioural Memory test, Canadian Occupational Performance Measure, Functional Independence Measure and the DEMQoL – Dementia quality of life questionnaire. Overall, the results showed statistically significant improvements in memory function, clinically significant gains in terms of perceived functional performance & satisfaction and objective and significant improvements in functional performance. Conclusion The findings have demonstrated potential to significantly improve participants’ cognitive function and have shown functional significant gains as a result both objectively and subjectively. The findings have also demonstrated the feasibility of successfully implementing a cognitive rehabilitation programme on an outpatient basis in an acute hospital setting.

Abstract:

The features of specialised languages have been extensively described by scholars in the literature. Amongst them, Enrique Alcaraz’s work stands out as an exhaustive and comprehensive description of EPAP at all linguistic levels: lexical, syntactic, semantic and pragmatic. This research aims to provide a bottom-up assessment of his description on a lexical level through the implementation of corpus-based techniques on two specialised corpora of legal and telecommunications English. The results support Alcaraz’s portrayal as regards term usage, the relevance of sub-technical vocabulary, the peculiarities of Latin single and multi word terms in legal English and the significant presence and usage of abbreviations in telecommunications English.
