The Different Forms of Concept Representation in Terminology: A Study of Documents Addressed to Fighter Aircraft Mechanics
Keywords:
terminology, terminography, concept representation, concept relationship, aero-nauticsAbstract
In this article I present research on different forms of concept representation in specialized aeronautical documents. I have isolated a sample of concepts in Spanish documents addressed to fighter aircraft mechanics in the area of fighter aircraft fuel systems. I have created a terminological database comprising these concepts and their representations, i.e., terms, explanations and illustrations. The analysis of this terminographic work allows us to determine the degree of impor- tance to the expert of the different forms of concept representation and the relationships between them.
