- ItemEnglische fachsprachliche Komposita und ihre besonderen Anforderungen an Rezeption und Translation(Technická univerzita v Liberci, Česká republika, 2017) Dopleb, MatthiasLexical compounds may represent particular challenges to both the reception and the translation process. Whereas the formal structure of German compounds is relatively clear-cut, English compounds may considerably vary in their graphematic representation as well as in the arrangement of their lexical constituents. In this article, typical examples of lexical compounds selected from English-German/German-English specialist dictionaries in the fields of economics, science/engineering and computer science are contrasted in order to focus on obvious differences in the way of their terminological designation. Based on these contrastive analyses, we suggest a suitable approach to translating such complex lexical entities from English to German.
