Le terminologue entre l’aménagement terminologique et la néologie
The Terminologist between Terminological Development and Neology

Summary/Abstract: Nowadays, there is an increasing trend towards an opening of the markets and the creation of new jobs in all specialized fields, and even the creation of new activity sectors, in response to emerging needs. Terminology goes hand-in-hand with the rise of new professions. One of the most important processes or fields of study in terminology is neology. Indeed, the terminologist – or neologist in this case – has the task of creating terms in order to designate new concepts resulting from the emergence of new realities and references. In this paper, we will study the phenomenon of terminological neology, as well as the methods and the criteria that should be observed in the process. We will present examples extracted from different activity sectors and, in this context, we will talk about the concepts of language policy and terminology planning, based on examples from different countries such as Egypt, France, and Canada.
