Georgian Aviation Terminology in the Multilingual Spectrum
Keywords:
aviation terminology; Georgian; glossaryAbstract
Georgian aviation has a long history of development and, therefore, related terminologicalactivities have been under way for that period. A number of glossaries of terms have beenappeared since then, particularly, the one published in 2002, which lain the foundation forsubsequent terminological endeavors likeA Learner’s English-Georgian Picture Glossary ofAviation Terms.
The aimed at solving a number of problems in the domain of aviation, primarily, to bring togetherterms used in the educational process. It is notable that the new glossary will feature more recentillustrations, and new data will be compared with their earlier counterparts.
In the Soviet period, aviation terms were translated predominantly from Russian. The newglossary will be bilingual (English-Georgian) and new Georgian terms will be tailored inaccordance with their English equivalents.
One of the advantages of the glossary is that illustrations will be presented thematically featuringprincipal terminological items as they are attested in various lexicographic sources and aviationdocumentation. It is noteworthy that the image bank of EASA training modules was officiallypurchased for the creation of the glossary, since aviation universities all over the world, includingthose inGeorgia, use EASA training modules for their teaching activities.
The abounding data of aviation terms, included in the picture glossary, will be added to the TermBank which have been developed at Arnold Chokobava Institute of Linguistics, TSU, in 2014.Previously published glossaries are already included in the Term Bank.
A Learner’s English-Georgian Picture Glossary of Aviation Termsshould appear in print. It willbe a significant resource both for professionals in the field and for students.
The glossary will greatly contribute to fostering, development, full-fledged functioning ofGeorgian terms of aviation in the multilingual spectrum.
