Terimbilim ve Çeviri Çalışmalarında Farklı Yönelimler

Both translators and terminologists agree on that terminology has an important role in specialized translation. In 70’s and 80’s terminology studies based on translation were carried on.However, in the last thirty years new methods in information technology and language led to new orientations and approaches in terminology. Terminology tends to have new applications within the domain of linguistics. These orientations in terminology weakened the connections with translation for a while. In the last years of 90’s terminology led to information technology, thus translation applications gained new orientations.For the last twenty years several data processing tools have been presented to translators. However, mechanical translation, or computer assisted translation have to be autonomous fields of translation studies. For this reason, the methods and approaches of translation studies should be included in the studies in the extent of “language processing”, and “computer assisted language processing” rather than using that of linguistics. This will make contributions to the problematiques of translation studies, and applied field of translation studies. In spite of the scientific developments in application fields on data processing of linguistics and translation studies, there are still some problematiques. The needs for translators as to terminology and lexicography cause a necessity of solutions adopted to application conditions. These two fields are not considered as supportive of translation studies. This article aims to show the reasons why the relationship between terminology and translation weakened, and suggest the new approaches and orientations of these two field.
