Abstract

“Terminology Formation and Translation Procedures in Turkish” deals with the stages involved in creating scientific jargon and terminology in the labyrinth of the history of science as well as with the mechanisms operating in terminology formation as different from word-formation. Accordingly, it is not only a theoretical account of terminology formation but also a historical account of linguistic and terminological problems in practice, especially in transition from Arabic script to Latin Script by the proclamation of Script Reform in 1928.
