Computer terminology in the New Dictionary of Foreign Words by Bratoljub Klaić and Školska knjiga

Abstract

The paper analyses the lexicographic treatment of computer terms in the New Dictionary of Foreign Words by Bratoljub Klaić and Školska knjiga. The analysis focuses on the structure of the dictionary entry of computer terms which have the label INFORM. Certain elements of the dictionary entry are analysed (entry-word, morphology and accentuation, definition, stylistic labels). Lexicographic treatment of computer terms is compared to that in contemporary bilingual English-Croatian dictionaries of computer terminology (Kiš, Panian) as well as with the entries of computer terms in general Croatian desk dictionaries (HER, Školski rječnik hrvatskoga jezika).
