Splošna leksika in večpodročni termini v govoru turizma

Abstract

Drawing upon the Dictionary of Tourism Terminology (TURS) the study shows the specific traits of tourism lexis, which is characterized by strong terminologization and de-terminologization processes, or rather, by the interaction of the general lexicon and multidisciplinary terminology within the field of tourism. Lexical entries in the dictionary provide information about the source field of a term by indicating the type of tourism and a specific field indication, the definition of term, and illustrative examples. Determining the tourism subfields is especially important with multidisciplinary terms, since their meanings and concepts intertwine differently in various fields.
