Word composition and specialized translation (German-Spanish)
Vitiviniculture and terminography
This work focuses on the translation of vitiviniculture
terminology and its translation from German into Spanish. To do this, we
first address the two main word composition processes in German: compounding
and derivation. Then, we compile a text corpus with vitivinicultural terms
in the German language. This corpus is composed of texts which represent
several degrees of specialization. Later on, we extract the vitiviniculture
terminology from the text and examine if any word composition process was
used to create the term. Finally, we analyse the different units within the
term, and from this analysis, we propose the translation of the term into
Spanish.
