Domain–specific Cognitive Models in a Multi–Domain Term Base
Domain–specific Cognitive Models in a Multi–Domain Term Base

Summary/Abstract: More recent approaches to terminology incorporate premises from cognitive linguistics and sociolinguistics in their theoretical framework. Although such approaches range from general theoretical frameworks to more practical models based on a specific cognitive theory, none provides explicit guidelines on how to incorporate theoretical findings into a multi–domain term base, such as Struna. Struna (Stojanov et al. 2009; Struna 2012) is a national database of Croatian Special Field Terminology. Since the Struna database includes a wide array of specialized domains, this entails the design of a new sociocognitive model1 that integrates premises from modern terminology theory and cognitive sociolinguistics into a usable practical framework for a multi–domain term base.
