Abstract

Abstract:

Motivation typologies of linguistic terminology consist of four types which can be further divided into 14 sub-types. The first type, using existent language resources as terminologies includes the use of everyday words as terminologies, metaphorizing everyday words and the use of loan words as terminologies. The second type, innovation based on existent language resources, which includes the usual derivation, analogical derivation, compounding, shortening and back-formation. The third type is inventing novel terminologies, which involves the use of variables and numerals, and imitating. The fourth type is unusual terminological innovation including the use of people’s names, inventing-delivering-and-reinventing terminologies, erroneous transformation of words into terms.

Key words: linguistics, terminology, motivation typology
