Рецензія на термінологічний словник як жанр критичного субдискурсу

Abstract

У статті з’ясовано, що рецензія на термінологічні словники є гетерогенним, інтегральним жанром, базовим жанром термінографічної критики та головним репрезентантом критичного субдискурсу. Визначено, що критичний субдискурс є одним з підтипів оцінювального дискурсу, виконує роль ‘лабораторії’ для експертизи якості термінологічних словників, результати роботи якої цінні для метатермінографії. Розроблено багатоаспектну жанрову класифікацію (типологію) постпублікаційних рецензій на термінологічні словники.

The relevance and significance of the problem to develop a genre typology of the post-publication review of terminology dictionaries are founded in the article. The aim of the research is to find out the place of the review in the system of scientific literature genres and to develop a multidimensional genre typology of the post-publication review of a special dictionary as a representative of the critical sub-discourse. The following methods are used in the article: textual, descriptive, comparative and lexicographic as well as the method of quantitative analysis. It is determined that a critical sub-discourse is one of the subtypes of the evaluative discourse, acting as a ‘laboratory’ to examine terminology dictionaries quality, the results of which are valuable for etaterminography. It is found that the review of terminology dictionaries is a heterogeneous and integral genre as well as the basic genre of terminographic criticism and the main representative of the critical sub-discourse. The source base contained 50 reviews published in the Ukrainian scientific periodicals, which constitute the body of texts for the critical subdiscourse. Based on the structure and content analysis of the terminology dictionaries reviews, their overall multidimensional genre classification (typology) was made according to the following features: 1) the number of authors; 2) the type of a journal in which the review is published; 3) the amount of information in the review; 4) the number of dictionaries considered in the review; 5) the type of special dictionaries analyzed in the review; 6) the presence/absence of scientific discussion, i.e. the presence/absence of responses to the review; 7) the style of text presentation in the review; 8) the time to react to the dictionary publication. It is determined that the review performs the following functions: estimation of special publications, notification of new terminology editions, instructions on the methods of composing special dictionaries and the function of influencing the development of methodological principles of terminology dictionary composing, i.e. improving the theoretical and methodological foundations of metaterminography. It is proved that the review of a terminology dictionary as the basic genre of terminographic criticism is intended to ‘coherently’ function with metaterminography in order to develop the principles and methods of composing a modern professional dictionary of a new type.
