SPECIALIZED LEXICOGRAPHY AND SPECIALIZED LANGUAGES: THEORETICAL BASIS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SPECIALIZED DICTIONARIES

Abstract

The article considers concepts of “specialized lexicography” and “specialized languages”, defines the essential content of these concepts, their similarities and their differences. The researcher investigates these two phenomena and talks about possible application of results of the work, for example, when developing active spe- cialized dictionaries designed for specific users and to meet their needs in accordance with modern current types of professional communication using terms, which will lead to the fact that the concept of “specialized lexicography” will denote theoretical and methodological foundations, which can subsequently serve as a guide for the development of such specialized dictionaries. The article concludes that the use of linguistic corpus becomes fundamental in the development of active specialized dictionaries with a communicative approach in accordance with specialized lexicography, which will allow the study of representative or communicative terminology, i.e. the terminology “in vivo” (natural, spontaneous) in contrast to representative concepts that study the terminology “in vitro” (standardized), following the principles of unambiguity and monosystems, postulated by classical theory.
