Opportunities for the Development of Latvian Terminography: Overview and Opinion
2024
Anita Helviga, Elīna Peina

The aim of this article is to present an overview of research in contemporary Latvian terminography and to present an opinion on the possibilities of its development. The methodological rationale for the review is to focus attention on the identified issues in a single and focused way, while the presentation of an opinion, which may differ from the existing one, is designed to move towards improvement. The review is based mainly on publications by the authors of the article, but contextual references are also made to other authors' studies in Latvian terminography. The justification of the opinion is based on the report, so that the reader can follow the reasoning. The structure of the article is two-part, which is a consequence of the intention and purpose. The first part presents a description of the situation based on research on the development of Latvian terminography, giving an overview of the already published and highlighted issues. The second part offers the authors' views on possible solutions that could stimulate discussion and thus contribute to the emergence of other terminology and terminography experts.
