Abstract

Different points of departure in lexicology (starting from a word/lexeme/lexical unit meaning) and in terminology (starting from concepts) entail different research procedures. We could speak of the intersection of these procedures in specialised lexicology which takes into account both points of view and, in addition, deals with semi-technical words/lexemes/ lexical units. Research procedures differ depending on the nature of the units to be identified, the features to be analysed, the objectives to be reached and on the nature of the end products, that is, to distinguish between approaches to compiling a bilingual law dictionary (as a specialised purpose dictionary) and compiling a bilingual EU legal terminology manual/database as a standardised form of lexis presentation.
