SYNONYMY AND TERMINOLOGICAL DOUBLET IN ECONOMIC TERMINOLOGY

Abstract

Synonymy, as a concept in the general language of Albanian, is seen as a positive phenomenon and as an expression of the diversity and richness of the language. Synonyms are based on semantic community, semantic proximity, and in semantic equivalence, also. The last one is the basis for absolute synonyms (Alb. Dysorët - Engl. Doublet), where in the general lexicon they are in limited quantities. In terminology, unlike in the general language, during tackling of economic terminology problems, synonymy is considered a harmful phenomenon that is present. Synonymy in terminology makes it possible to be viewed within a field of knowledge, such as polysemy and homonymy. From this point of view, doublets are studied as a harmful phenomenon, and in the process of standardization of terminology, they constitute the main orientation of the work for their elimination, defining between them and the standard term. This paper will address some of the theoretical problems of synonymy and terminological dichotomy in the terminology of economics in the Albanian language, in order for this article to serve for further practice of constructing terms and compiling terminological dictionaries.
