Advanced Terminology Studies

Terminology is the backbone of specialized translation: before you can render a medical report or a contract reliably, you need defensible concept systems, validated sources, and a termbase you can trust under deadline pressure. The course treats this as a research discipline rather than a vocabulary exercise — you'll build glossaries domain by domain (medical, legal, financial, engineering), run manual and AI-assisted term extraction on real corpora, and defend your choices through a running project alongside the midterm and final. It sits at the practical end of the translation curriculum, sharpening the workflow habits (CAT termbases, source evaluation, ethical use of AI) that determine whether your work holds up in professional settings.
