COMPOUNDING IN THE GENERATION OF NOMINAL FINANCIAL TERMS IN ENGLISH - A FEW CONSIDERATIONS
COMPOUNDING IN THE GENERATION OF NOMINAL FINANCIAL TERMS IN ENGLISH - A FEW CONSIDERATIONS

Summary/Abstract: The present paper aims at offering an insight into the way complex nominal financial terms are generated in the framework of the GTG (Generative Transformational Grammar) analysis, in other words, it deals with the implications of compounding within the terminological approach. From the beginning, it is important to underline that our point of interest is ‘financial terminology’, not ‘economic terminology’, as we try to capture the specificity of the language of finance, separated from the language of economics, of marketing, of management, etc., which may constitute topics for further investigations. Moreover, in order to restrict and circumscribe the area of research, a significant fact is that financial terminology was chosen because it is highly productive, especially from the point of view of compound types and the applied formation rules.
