The market of translation and interpreting industries is developing fast, generating huge amount of profits. Today more than ever, communication and interaction must be clear because they are involved in strategic fields such as politics, economics, and social life. Ambiguity cannot be tolerated as it could threaten important economic and political relations. In this scenario, terminology plays a crucial role in regulating communication to avoid misunderstandings between the parties involved in the exchange. In particular, specialized terminology organizes, standardizes and/or linguistically plans concepts of a specialized subject fields allowing communication and specialized translation. Specialized translation is not an easy task because the translator needs a deep knowledge of the special subject field and its terminology. Specialized languages are subcodes of the general language that are used by experts to communicate inside a specialized domain. Only by studying and analyzing the lexicon and the terminology, can the translator deliver the right message for the technical domain in question. This is why it is so important to have access to high quality terminology resources such as databases and glossaries in order to produce a high quality specialized translation. Having developed an interest for terminology and owing to its significant role in translation for special languages, I have decided to devote this work to the creation of a field-specific terminological data base. The choice of upholstery as subject field for the project was not accidental. I have decided to focus on this specific domain due to my familiar background in the discipline, as my grandfather has been an upholsterer for almost 70 years. Growing close to an artisanal business of such type, I was able to notice that Italian manufacturing goods, especially handmade furniture, are very much appreciated abroad. Made in Italy products are exported all over the world every day, and this causes the need for translation and localization in different languages of various type of materials such as product sheets, websites and brochures. 1 Despite the economic importance of upholstery terminology, it is still hard to find accessible and adequate resources for this specialized terminology. Especially because the majority of Italian companies working in furniture and upholstery are still family-run or small business and therefore do not have a standardized vocabulary. One of the purposes of this dissertation is to shed light on terminology as an essential practice in the language studies in order to produce quality translation. This work aims to contribute to the creation and spreading of good quality terminological resources that can be used from experts and translators to enhance their practice and build constructive knowledge. In order to do this, in Chapter One I will focus on the birth of terminology as a discipline and its struggle for acknowledgment in the scientific field. For long time, terminology has not been recognized as an independent discipline, and even in recent years some scholars believe that terminology is not to be considered a totally autonomous field. Then, this Chapter will describe the main working methods and different approaches that characterized this discipline throughout the years. Lastly, Chapter One will give an overview on the organizational aspects of the discipline and on how countries and agencies manage terminological work. Chapter Two will deal with the relationship between the two fields of terminology and translation and how terminological work can be an effective tool in the translation of specialized text. After this, I will describe briefly the features that characterize a Special Language, namely the importance of specific lexicon and terminology. The final part of Chapter Two will try to give a brief explanation of corpus linguistics and corpora as a tool for terminological activity. Thanks to corpus based analysis we can study great collections of texts belonging to a specialized field and extract terminological information from them. After this theoretic introduction, Chapter Three will focus on the background work for the terminological project. First, an overview of the field of Upholstery will be carried out, focusing on the history of upholstery from ancient time to today. After that, the second section of the third chapter will explain the documentation

  • Introduction
    Introduction From 15 to 17 September 2015, the British woollen mill Abraham Moon and Sons Ltd exhibited at Première Vision Paris, the prestigious juried trade fair for apparel fabrics. The mill was one of 1,924 exhibitors from fifty-seven countries that made their new ranges for Autumn/Winter 2016 available to some 62,000 visitors, three- quarters of whom were international. Held at the Parc des Expositions de Paris- Nord Villepint, a convention centre near the Charles de Gaulle Airport, Première Vision Paris is a biannual trade show for the six major industries that supply the global fashion industry with ingredients and services: yarns, fabrics, leather, designs, accessories and manufacturing. Launched as a modest silk exhibition in Lyon in 1973 to give the customers a ‘first look’ at the new luxury fabrics, over the past forty years Première Vision, nicknamed ‘PV’, has become Europe’s most important textile trade show for apparel.1 In many trade shows, exhibitors have wide-open booths that advertise the products to the passers-by, but at PV, the vendors and their fabrics are all hidden behind tall white barriers. The idea is to keep the samples away from the prying eyes of competitors. Admission to a particular stand is limited to the customers, and people from rival mills are not allowed in. The customers—the fabric merchandisers, fabric buyers, apparel designers and other creative staff from retailers and brands— are identified by their badges. Besides the manufacturers’ stalls, the exhibition halls have public spaces with curated exhibitions, including a major display that forecasts the upcoming season’s trends in colour, style and texture.

It was a pioneering measure: the first piece of legislation in this country to recognise the importance of conserving the character of entire areas and to acknowledge the civic design values of whole groups of buildings. Before 1967, the individual building or monument had been the basis of legislation protecting the built environment. By the end of 1967, the first four conservation areas had been designated. Today in England there are about 7500 designated areas which are estimated to contain 1.3 million buildings or 4% of the nation’s stock: an eloquent testimony to the central importance of conservation to the quality of life in modern Britain. Looking back, it is easy to see why the concept took such hold, coming at a time when large parts of our historic towns were being demolished to make way for shopping centres and ring roads, and comprehensive redevelopment ruled the day.
