Sinking about and Working with Maritime Language and Terminology
- Author

- Note
- With regard to text-based maritime terminology used by organisations in the maritime sector, the emphasis of terminology management must lie on standardization rather than on description. The use of standardized or preferred terms has to be promoted by their corporate communications departments and managements. Standardization will be greatly helped by an accessible, user-friendly TMS enabling in-company users, authors and translators to consult up-to-date specialist maritime terminology presented within a context and, where possible, assisted by visual information. To arrive at a consistent corporate terminology, organisations are advised to set up a well-structured TMS and to assign a person, for example a terminologist, who will be responsible for terminology work, terminology management and maintenance of the system; the organizations are also advised to create a consultative structure or guideline via which users, terminologist, corporate communications department and management can propose, advise and decide on the organization's terminology.
