Download or read book Indeterminacy in Terminology and LSP written by Bassey Antia and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2007-05-09 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with the oft-neglected tensions between perspicuity and fuzziness in specialised communication. It describes the manifestations, functions and implications of indeterminacy phenomena in a range of LSP specialisations where it has been customary to expect precision and consistency. The volume presents case studies and methodological frameworks that draw on theoretical, anthropological and cognitive linguistics, safety-critical translating, history and theory of terminology studies, development of ontologies, software localisation, jurisprudence, macroeconomics and interoperability of digital knowledge representation resources. With chapters by leading scholars drawn from eleven countries, this book contributes to the benchmarking of indeterminacy scholarship in LSP studies and is a fitting tribute to its dedicatee, Professor Heribert Picht who, even in retirement, remains a constant presence in LSP and terminology studies. The book should be of interest to scholars of the aforementioned areas.

This global public disclosure is designed to be your practical and scholarly, primary source knowledge commencing from at least as early as 14-August-2001 until present day (September 2019 - or as of latest update) on the origin of the "Principles of 'BlockChain'" and related concept system matter; and is designed to be relied upon as a legislative-, regulatory-, public policy-making-, academic-, business-, investment- , professional-, technical-, and scientific reference, now and into the future. As an electronic - (intellectual property token; trademark brand: MQCC InPUT™ ) - format encyclopedic authoritative reference, this First Edition will be continually improved until the next edition is published. If you are a lawfully elected or duly appointed public official (Head of State, Senator, Minister, Legislator, Policy Maker, Regulator); lawfully elected, duly appointed or employed member of a regulated, reporting or private organization in the role of Top Management (Chief Executive Officer (CEO)- level or Board of Director-level) member; a legal professional; an professional liability insurance/organization risk underwriter; an investor, academic or interested person: before you spend any of your personal money (or any more personal money) and your valuable personal time on 'BlockChain'-anything or 'crypto'-anything; put this electronic reference [intellectual property utility token (distinctively known as the MQCC™-registered, global trademark: MQCC InPUT™)] in your personal library and learn directly from the person (Author) who: <*> first identified and commercialized (starting at least as early as April 9, 2005) a globally accessible, peer-to-peer electronic finance system; (cryptofinancial network). <*> first registered (starting at least as early as May 9, 2008) a subordinate Quality Management System to ISO 9001:2000; ISO 9001:2008 and the current risk-based ISO 9001:2015 in order to publicly prove to "the world", that the globally accessible system-network methods and products are better, safer, more efficient and in order to establish at-a-glance (prima facie) levels of trust - at a global scale; <*> Over the past 19 years, has personally introduced and educated the following classes of people on the origins and over-14 years of successfully commercialized, National and International consensus-standards-based, application the overarching concept system including: the "Principles of 'BlockChain'; utility tokens, securities tokens, conformity science: *> public officials (Ministers, Legislators, Policy Makers, Regulators) *> lawyers employed by law enforcement agencies *> lawyers employed by public market securities regulators *> CEO's, Executive Officers, members of Top Management of regulated, reporting or private business organizations *> retail customers (investors and investees) *> and more <*> Developed, what is today, the world's most trusted and trustworthy global system-network of its kind that, for over 12 years, meets and exceeds United States a (US) Department of Defense (DoD), General Services Administration (GSA), and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Higher-level contract quality requirements and integrates elements of the globally trusted US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Framework Core for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity. This encyclopedic authoritative reference takes you from the start, from at least as early as 14-August-2001 to Present day (September 2019). Now that this compendium is published, if any consultant or business promoter, anywhere in the world (at least in 119 countries where ISO 9000 is considered a National Standard class of family of standards) on matters claims to know what he or she is talking about and has not proven to you that they have read this important work of public disclosure, then they really don't know scientific-based, historically-accurate, information timeline. -> Learn how the Author has been telling CyrptoExchange CEO's to learn the MQCC Standards™, so they can make their cryptoexchanges better, safer and more efficient for the inexperienced global public and regulatory community -- months (and years) before sad events occurred when some exchanges suffered catastrophic shutdowns because Top Management did not have and still do not have, the historically proven systems that they need to assure better, safer and more efficient cryptofinancial operations; which MQCC developed. --> Learn how some CEO's or Top Management of Banks and Public Securities Exchanges have been explained that an over 14 year-old fully functional system built on the "Principles of 'BlockChain'" exists and will prevent corporate shareholder financial loss caused by risk due to uncertainty created by nonconformity events like mortgage fraud and ineffective public (reporting securities issuer) company operators. -> Learn how a proven regulatory-integrated framework of co-existence between public securities regulators and non-public securities regulators and regulatees has evolved since at least as early as August 14, 2001. -> Learn how the term Bungay Unification of Quantum Processes Algorithm also represented as the "Principles of 'BlockChain'" was abstracted from observation of the originating object or phenomenon. -> Learn how to find out who is a competent consultant and who is not a competent consultant on matters related to the "Principles of 'BlockChain'" -> Learn how to the global community has misunderstood the origins and wasted (in some cases, literally) millions of dollars in ideas that are "BlockChain-in-Name-Only". -> Learn how "The Principles of 'BlockChain'" have nothing to do with computer programming language C++; which was used to program the bitcoin, alpha-state, experimental software program. -> Learn about the discovery and commercialization of SYSTEMS-LEVEL Artificial Intelligence (SL) by the yours sincerely. -> Learn how commercially available suite of systems, technology, services and products work for any size organization: 1 owner-operator to an organization with 1,000,000 million employees and more. This encyclopedic authoritative reference will be your best investment in this subject matter, ever. More about this encyclopedic authoritative reference The "Principles of 'BlockChain'" were naturally discovered out of a need to create a governance and operating system for the world's first "peer-to-peer (P2P) electronic finance system-network" for the trade in non-bank, non-institutional, non-syndicated, non-regulated or regulatory exempt, free trading securities and related financial instruments; commencing from at least as early as August 14, 2001. As a reminder, before you invest or spend any money on "BlockChain"-anything, or "crypto"-anything; learn from from the person who first discovered and then commercialized it, since at least as early as April 9, 2005 at www.privatelender.org; a person who also happens to be the world's leading authority on National and International Standards-Class NISC™ (in at least 119 countries), Quality Management System-integrated, regulatory-integrated, litigation-tested, BlockChain-based Systems, Technology, Services and Products. WARNING: If you have any question of comprehension or understanding, seek professional counsel before you - another friendly reminder - spend even one more unit of fiat currency ("real" money) on any "BlockChain" or "Crypto" project. Ask your local legislator, lawyer or, in the future your local conformity scientist and PROFESSIONAL BLOCKCHAINEER™/®. Remember this authoritative encyclopedic reference is written by the person who developed the world's first commercialized an application of the "Principles of 'BlockChain'" in Commerce for a peer-to-peer electronic finance system. A body of transmundane knowledge encompassing a variety of knowledge disciplines. Having built "it" first and having built "it" right, means - despite being the CEO of a commercial finance sector organization - the Author is more or less "under the radar" from the scrutiny of the general public due to successful application of the sub-principle "effective disintermediation"; as such, nobody on Earth has really been afforded an opportunity to "look behind the history" - in a single, primary source compendium - to see how delicate, comprehensive, complex and beneficial conformity science and the "Principles of 'BlockChain'", truly are. Not to mention the painstaking diligent years of maintaining the momentum. If you, your family, your company or your country is even "thinking" about investing limited sovereign resources and valuable time into the "Principles of 'BlockChain'", "crypto"-anything, "token"-anything and related matters (or want to be an authority on the subject), then learn about its origins, its regulatory-scrutinized, litigation-tested commercial applications of the present-day, and its future. Especially if you are (or will be, one day) employed as a Head of State, Legislator, Policymaker, Regulator, Lawyer, member of "Top Management" (Chief Executive Officer (CEO) or Board Member of a regulated or non-regulated Organization, Academic (student, undergraduate, graduate, doctoral, post-doctoral research), Journalist, Professional Liability Insurer, Investor, Head of a Family Office; or, if you are your normal, everyday person, just curious about the world. This work of scientific-commercial-regulatory-financial literature is both a public service and an introduction to the foundational body of knowledge that led to the discovery of the "Principles of 'BlockChain'", the birth of binary digit non-bank, non-institutional, non-syndicated, non-regulated or regulatory exempt, free trading securities and related financial instruments; also known as Peer-to-Peer (P2P)/Private/Crypto/Secret/Shadow securities and related financial instruments; Binary Digit Financial Instruments or Digital Assets and the Discovery of Conformity Science. It is the foundation of evolutionary digital commerce (a new field of science for the study of the evolutionary (revolutionary, perhaps?) processes related to the discovery of the "Principles of 'BlockChain'" and production of binary digit financial instruments (digital assets), systems, technologies, services and products. The body of evidence - as you would expect from the creator of a system built on principles that creates trust through transparency, immutability, validation, traceability and verifiability - is itself, traceable, verifiable, immutable and transparent. You will not find this content anywhere else. MQCC is the point of origination. The Bungay Unification of Quantum Processes Algorithm: when Quantum Unification Theory met Commerce. A revolutionary paradigm shift in how commerce is transacted, allowing for realizable quality, conformity and control goals to be achieved; resulting in long term, sustainable inflows of money. And lots of it. If you agree that the "Principles of 'BlockChain'" offer the utmost level of immutable data (knowledge) veracity, validity, verifiability, transparency, proof and truth; then you will understand the non-trivial implications of this history of the discovery of the "Principles of 'BlockChain'". Origin of a Specie™: an authoritative encyclopedic reference that only the discoverer of the world's first globally accessible, regulatory-recognized, regulatory-integrated and regulatory-trusted, commercialized "Principles of 'BlockChain'"-based system for the trade in non-bank, non-institutional, non-syndicated, non-regulated or regulatory exempt, free trading securities and related financial instruments; also known as Peer-to-Peer (P2P)/Private/Crypto/Secret/Shadow securities and related financial instruments (Binary Digit Utility Tokens for Digital Assets), could write.

Download or read book Contracts for Engineers written by Robert D. Hunter and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Engineers encounter different types of contracts at nearly every turn in their careers. Contracts for Engineers: Intellectual Property, Standards, and Ethics is a tool to enhance their ability to communicate contractual issues to lawyers—and then better understand the legal advice they receive. Building on its exploration of contracts, this book expands discussion to: Patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and other intellectual property issues Development of standards and the bodies that govern them, as well as conformity assessment and accreditation Ethics at both the micro and macro levels—a concept under major scrutiny after several major disasters, including the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, the collapse of Boston’s Big Dig, and a coal-mining accident that resulted in many deaths With a brief introduction to common law contracts and their underlying principles, including basic examples, the book presents a sample of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) regarding the sale of goods. It evaluates elements of the different contracts that engineers commonly encounter, such as employee and associated consulting agreements and contracts involved in construction and government. Approaching intellectual property from a contract perspective, this reference focuses on the many different types of patents and their role in commerce. It touches on the application of trademarks and recent developments in the use of copyright as a form of contract and explains the process of obtaining patents, including the rationale for investing in them. Ethical standards receive special attention, which includes a review of several prominent professional codes of ethics and conduct for both organizations and individual engineers, particularly officers and higher-level managers.

Download or read book Terminology Translation in Chinese Contexts written by Saihong Li and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2021-02-22 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Terminology Translation in Chinese Contexts: Theory and Practice investigates the theory and practice of terminology translation, terminology management, and scholarship within the distinctive milieu of Chinese and explores the complex relationship between terminology translation (micro level) and terminology management (macro level). This book outlines the contemporary challenges of terminology translation and terminology management within Chinese contexts in specialized fields including law, the arts, religion, Chinese medicine, and food products. The volume also examines how the development and application of new technologies such as big data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence have brought about major changes in the language service industry. Technology such as machine translation and computer-assisted translation has spawned new challenges in terminology management practices and has facilitated their evolution in contexts of ever greater internationalization and globalization. This book recontextualizes terminology translation and terminology management with a special focus on English–Chinese translation. It is hoped that the volume will enable and enhance dialogue between Chinese and Western scholars and professionals in the field. All chapters have been written by specialists in the different subfields and have been peer-reviewed by the editors.

Download or read book Perspectives on Localization written by Keiran J. Dunne and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past two decades, international trade agreements such as GATT and NAFTA have lowered international trade barriers. At the same time, the information revolution has fueled profound shifts in the ways companies conduct business and communicate with their customers, and worldwide acceptance of the ISO 9000 standard has established the notion that quality must be defined in terms of customer satisfaction. Falling trade barriers and rising quality standards have made linguistic and cultural issues increasingly important. To successfully compete in today's global on-demand economy, companies must localize their products and services to fit the needs of the local market in terms of language, culture, functionality, work practices, as well as legal and regulatory requirements. In recognition of the growing importance of localization, this volume explores a certain number of key issues, including: • Return on investment and the localization business case • Localization cost drivers and cost-containment strategies • Localization quality and customer-focused quality management • Challenges posed by localization of games, including Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPGs) • Using a meta-language to facilitate accurate translation of disembodied content • The case for managing source-language terminology • Terminology management in the localization process • Reconciling industry needs and academic objectives in localization education • Localization standards and the commoditization of linguistic information • The creation and application of language industry standards • Rethinking customer-focused localization through user-centered design • Moving from translation reuse to language reuse

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Praise for the previous edition of the Encyclopedia of Translation Studies: 'Translation has long deserved this sort of treatment. Appropriate for any college or university library supporting a program in linguistics, this is vital in those institutions that train students to become translators.' – Rettig on Reference 'Congratulations should be given to Mona Baker for undertaking such a mammoth task and...successfully pulling it off. It will certainly be an essential reference book and starting point for anyone interested in translation studies.' – ITI Bulletin 'This excellent volume is to be commended for bringing together some of [its] most recent research. It provides a series of extremely useful short histories, quite unlike anything that can be found elsewhere. University teachers will find it invaluable for preparing seminars and it will be widely used by students.' – The Times Higher Education Supplement ' ... a pioneering work of reference ...'– Perspectives on Translation The Routledge Encyclopedia of Translation Studies has been the standard reference in the field since it first appeared in 1998. The second, extensively revised and extended edition brings this unique resource up-to-date and offers a thorough, critical and authoritative account of one of the fastest growing disciplines in the humanities. The Encyclopedia is divided into two parts and alphabetically ordered for ease of reference. Part One (General) covers the conceptual framework and core concerns of the discipline. Categories of entries include: central issues in translation theory (e.g. equivalence, translatability, unit of translation) key concepts (e.g. culture, norms, ethics, ideology, shifts, quality) approaches to translation and interpreting (e.g. sociological, linguistic, functionalist) types of translation (e.g. literary, audiovisual, scientific and technical) types of interpreting (e.g. signed language, dialogue, court). New additions in this section include entries on globalisation, mobility, localization, gender and sexuality, censorship, comics, advertising and retranslation, among many others. Part Two (History and Traditions) covers the history of translation in major linguistic and cultural communities. It is arranged alphabetically by linguistic region. There are entries on a wide range of languages which include Russian, French, Arabic, Japanese, Chinese and Finnish, and regions including Brazil, Canada and India. Many of the entries in this section are based on hitherto unpublished research. This section includes one new entry: Southeast Asian tradition. Drawing on the expertise of over 90 contributors from 30 countries and an international panel of consultant editors, this volume offers a comprehensive overview of translation studies as an academic discipline and anticipates new directions in the field. The contributors examine various forms of translation and interpreting as they are practised by professionals today, in addition to research topics, theoretical issues and the history of translation in various parts of the world. With key terms defined and discussed in context, a full index, extensive cross-references, diagrams and a full bibliography the Routledge Encyclopedia of Translation Studies is an invaluable reference work for all students and teachers of translation, interpreting, and literary and social theory.

Download or read book The Interface between Scientific and Technical Translation Studies and Cognitive Linguistics written by Ralph Krüger and published by Frank & Timme GmbH. This book was released on 2015-04-17 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific and Technical Translation (STT) is a highly complex and knowledge-intensive field of translation and cognitive linguistics is a usage-based linguistic framework which provides powerful theoretical tools for modelling knowledge organisation and representation in discourse. This book explores the interface between scientific and technical translation studies and cognitive linguistics by discussing the epistemological, contextual, textual and cross-linguistic dimensions of scientific and technical translation from a cognitive linguistic perspective. Particular emphasis is placed on explicitation and implicitation as indicators of the interaction between text and context in STT. The corpusbased investigation of the two phenomena illustrates the complex knowledge requirements pertaining to scientific and technical translation and demonstrates the explanatory power of cognitive linguistics with regard to important textual and contextual aspects of STT.

Download or read book Application driven Terminology Engineering written by Fidelia Ibekwe-SanJuan and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A common framework under which the various studies on terminology processing can be viewed is to consider not only the texts from which the terminological resources are built but particularly the applications targeted. The current book, first published as a Special Issue of Terminology 11:1 (2005), analyses the influence of applications on term definition and processing. Two types of applications have been identified: intermediary and terminal applications (involving end users). Intermediary applications concern the building of terminological knowledge resources such as domain-specific dictionaries, ontologies, thesaurus or taxonomies. These knowledge resources then form the inputs to terminal applications such as information extraction, information retrieval, science and technology watch or automated book index building. Most of the applications dealt with in the book fall into the first category. This book represents the first attempt, from a pluridisciplinary viewpoint, to take into account the role of applications in the processing of terminology.

Download or read book Terminology written by Teresa Cabré and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2023-08-15 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together a selection of M. Teresa Cabré’s articles on terminology published after 1999 in journals of diverse nature and scope, many of which are difficult to access; articles in languages other than English are here provided in English translation. As a whole, these articles aim to represent the author’s groundbreaking work on terminology, both from a theoretical as from a methodological and applied point of view. Part I includes texts on three fundamental aspects of terminology as a field of knowledge: Firstly, general articles on the rethinking of proposals made by other authors and on the bases for the formulation of the Communicative Theory of Terminology (CTT). Secondly, articles that deal with the rethinking of the framework of this subject, with emphasis on specialised languages and communication. And thirdly, on the object of study: the terminological unit. Part II includes articles on methodology, international standards, and teaching terminology, and texts that deal with the intersection of terminology with other fields: Documentation, Translation, Neology, and Language Policy.
