Translation of Linguistic Terms and the Challenge of their Unification

Terminology as a model

Abstract

Despite the efforts that have been made in order to achieve an accurate translation of terms
in general and the linguistic term in particular, the beholder of the proposed translations
notices a clear disturbance in them. The present paper, based on a study of a unified
dictionary of linguistic terms, tends to discuss the problems of standardization of linguistic
terms and aims to highlight the importance of adopting a clear translation methodology that
tries to bring languages closer together while preserving the specificity of the Arabic
phonological and morphological linguistic system.
