A startup vállalkozások terminológiája angol–orosz internetes glosszáriumokban

Abstract

Most of the startup-related terminology is in the English language. The contrastive terminology research group of the Budapest Business School, Department of International Business Languages have been studying for years how this terminology is translated into various other languages. We have found that while printed dictionaries do not keep pace with the expansion of this terminology, the Internet offers several online glossaries. Altogether six such English Russian glossaries, containing 374 term pairs, were accessible online.

The aim of our research was to identify the types of secondary term formation and the related translation procedures as reflected in these specialised online vocabularies. The transparency of the Russian terms was also studied. We found that communication between professionals and laymen must be problematic as only 52.31% of the Russian terms are linguistically transparent. However, we also observed that the Russian language is relatively open to the use of words with foreign origin, thus, if the need for communication intensifies, the now intransparent terms are likely to gain currency.
