- W2781497536 abstract "Based on the analysis of exocentric terminological compounds the author investigates the relation between general and specialized language. Firstly, the analysis is based on the assumption that general and specialized language share similar features (Temmerman 2000), therefore the same cognitive-linguistic tools are appropriate to analyse both. The second assumption is that the distinction between general and specialized is not clear-cut since new meanings within the specialized domain of knowledge are built using the already existing meanings from general language (Temmerman 2000). Based on these assumptions, the classic endocentric-exocentric distinction of compounds proposed by Bloomfield (1933) is questioned using examples of terminological exocentric compounds. The lecture is conceived as a contribution to socio-cognitive (Temmerman 2000) as well as cognitive-oriented studies of terminology analysis in general (Faber 2012). It is a continuation of a corpus-based study of English noun-noun compounds in civil engineering discourse (Spiranec 2011). Also, it relies on the recent study that proved exocentrics to be productive and “creative“ constructions that employ metaphorical and metonymical processes (Benczes 2004). In this paper, three exocentric terminological compounds are analyzed – bulldozer, calfdozer and dutchman – using metaphor, image metaphor and conceptual metonymy. The analysis is aimed to show that investigating the motivation of terminological compounds requires a synchronic as well as a diachronic perspective. For instance, the meaning of the compound bulldozer is linked to the meaning of the compound bull dose that was in use in the 19th century. Idealized cognitive model of a bull will prove to be crucial in the meaning generation. In civil engineering domain of knowledge, initially exocentric compound bulldozer has with time become a source for the generation of new endocentric compounds (e.g. calfdozer, tiltdozer) since the constituent dozer has itself acquired a new meaning. Also, diachronic analysis of the term dutchman will show that this compound is culturally typical, and that its meaning is possible to analyze only by taking into account the socio-political context of a certain period. Finally, the analysis will show that the same lexical unit can at the same time be endocentric and exocentric depending on the meaning that is conveyed in certain domain of knowledge. The analysis of the chosen examples will further strengthen the standpoint that the classic endocentric-exocentric distinction is not viable (Benczes 2013)." @default.
