Domain–specific Cognitive Models in a Multi–Domain Term Base

More recent approaches to terminology incorporate premises from cognitive linguistics and sociolinguistics in their theoretical framework. Although such approaches range from general theoretical frameworks to more practical models based on a specific cognitive theory, none provides explicit guidelines on how to incorporate theoretical findings into a multi–domain term base, such as Struna. Struna (Stojanov et al. 2009 ; Struna 2012) is a national database of Croatian Special Field Terminology. Since the Struna database includes a wide array of specialized domains, this entails the design of a new sociocognitive model that integrates premises from modern terminology theory and cognitive sociolinguistics into a usable practical framework for a multi–domain term base.
