La terminologie, outil de vulgarisation et de mise en discours pour la traduction pragmatique

Résumé

This paper is part of a broader reflection on the place of popularization in translation. Nur-tured by our experience as a professional translator and translator trainer, it posits that terminology, from the translators' point of view, goes way beyond its traditional defini-tion, namely the study of specialized languages. It actually functions above all as a popu-larization endeavor, in that it consists in mapping a field of knowledge on the basis of a given set of logical relationships, leading to structured (and directly exploitable) knowledge by those who are not initially specialists in it. Moreover, and because it entails the establishment of visual tree diagrams, we strive to demonstrate how, based on such structuring of knowledge, it helps put the studied do-main in discourse, i.e. to restore the latter’s its temporal density: establishing the terminol-ogy of a domain is, in a way, telling it. In fact, it is shown, through examples, that the cognitive approaches to technical translation and to terminology can actually be considered as identical. The paper then describes the two main approaches to terminology (semasiological and onomasiological), and assesses the deep lying reasons that cause certain translation stud-ies specialists to favor one or the other, before trying to ascertain why so many translators actually hate or despise the field: a misunderstanding that needs to be overcome, for the sake of better, more professional translations and a better reputation of translators them-selves.
