French Theorists, North American Scholiasts

From: Lexicography, Terminology, and Translation

$1.54

While increases in frequency and narrowing of collocational range are typical of terminological formation, there may well be (at least in the humanities) a difference in kind between “home-grown” terminologies—those that emerge from direct, hands-on involvement—and those cobbled together aprés coup by academics turned translators. The very fact that these lexical oddities can all be traced back to items that are widely and idiomatically used in the writings of French theorists (Lacan’s regard, Althusser’s interpeller, etc.) would seem to point to the heavy hand of translation.
