Sažetak
Vocabulary development, a key focus of foreign language acquisition in general, requires meticulous attention to language teaching methodology in LSP acquisition, since one of the crucial demands of terminology is avoidance both of ambiguity and synonymy, otherwise frequent in general language. Being a tool customarily used to organize - i.e., chart scientific research results - graphical representations are nowadays abundantly employed by researchers in many scientific disciplines and domains. Consequently, the acquisition of the names of graphical representations in a foreign language and the ways of interpreting what a graphical representation displays may be incorporated into a foreign LSP curriculum at the tertiary education level, particularly in the area of communication skills. Hence, the aim of our study was to analyse a set of names of graphical representations in three languages – English, German and Croatian – in terms of their similarities and differences. Subsequently, the analysis is expected to yield guidelines that might help develop the most efficient strategies for the acquisition of the names of graphical representations within the methodology of LSP acquisition.
