Abstract

The transfer of technology to the Arab world and the profusion of information via faster means of communication bringing the Arab peoples closer together than ever before have created a major linguistic problem: terminology. This dissertation investigates the problem of terminology in translating into Arabic with a special reference to computer terminology. It analyzes a few aspects of the problem and examines some of the difficulties this problem creates for translators in the transfer of technical and scientific information into Arabic. It proposes a new approach to terminology based on the transfer of phonological and semantic properties.
