Abstract

Abstract: The paper focuses on the E-C translation of some linguistic terms concerning word formation in the English-Chinese Dictionary (the second edition). We think that the equivalents offered for “tmesis” and “retronym” in the dictionary needs to be improved. Meanwhile, two new terms, “backronym” (back acronym) and “snowclone” should also be included in the dictionary.

Key words: terms, equivalents in the target language, tmesis, retronym, backronym (back acronym), snowclone, English-Chinese Dictionary
