Abstract
AbstractThe Environment is a relatively new specialized domain. In the last few years, various online environmental resources have emerged, and large databases have started to include environmental terms within their entries. However, because of its relatively recent appearance, environmental terminology has not been standardized and its treatment in dictionaries has not been systematized. As such, this paper describes and compares a set of 18 online bilingual or multilingual (including Spanish and English) specialized resources on the Environment to evaluate their usefulness for translation. The focus is on internet dictionaries according to the classification proposed by De Schryver (2003, 151). This analysis focused on how each resource deals with access to phraseological information and the description of the information given for both the source term and the translated term(s). The headword ‘erosion’ was used for purposes of comparison.
