Cognitive Approaches to Specialist Languages

Towards a Cognitive Linguistics Account of a Terminological Database 197

From the practical point of view the methodology adopted and the
homogenous corpus makes it possible to distinguish the individual senses
of a term in relation to their grammatical form, affiliation to a legal
discipline and context-specific use. Notably, the online formula of the
product is expected to provide the users with a tool which enables
effective use of the data entered, i.e. the conceptually motivated formula
that have been recognised and noted at the microstructural level may be
grouped and categorised in a number of ways. It remains the hope of the
author that the RLT is a user-friendly database that is free from randomly
selected equivalents listed out of context.
