Although much has been developed in the field of naval architecture, the language proper of this professional community has been but rather superficially investigated and even less analysed by linguist researchers or practitioners, be they lexicologists and lexicographers, terminologists or terminographers. This book will expand the perspective on the most salient lexical peculiarities that were identified within the scope of this highly complex professional language. This is the first volume of our monograph and by and large it will consider the existing literature on the English language of...

This book is the second part of a monographic study on eponymization, eponyms and eponymisms, which continues the description published in the volume Eponymization as a Key to Immortality (published by LAP Lambert in 2021). Eponyms have been frequently viewed as a comprehensive denominative category that also comprises metaphors, metonyms, toponyms and antonomasia.

Their lexical versatility and morphological accessibility ensure their own...

This book is the first part of a monographic study which deals with eponyms, eponymisms and eponymization, further developed in The Fellowship of Eponyms and Eponymisms, the second volume, also published by LAP Lambert (2021).

Sie wurde nie aus einer linguistischen Perspektive interpretiert, obwohl ihr Beitrag zum englischen Wortschatz wirklich beträchtlich war. Die große Zahl und die große...

Ce livre est la première partie d'une étude monographique qui traite des éponymes, des éponymes et de l'éponymisation, développée dans La communauté des éponymes et des éponymes, le deuxième volume, également publié par LAP Lambert (2021).

Elle n'a jamais été interprétée d'un point de vue linguistique, bien que sa contribution au lexique anglais ait été réellement substantielle. Le...
