Abstract

The objective of this paper is to examine and describe what would be considered as a computer science register at the vocabulary (or lexicon) level. What is meant by computer science register vocabulary is that terminology that is recurrent in most computer sub-registers; and, this may partly provide an anticipated answer to the first present research question. Indeed, the would-be specialists in translation need to get familiar with the different characteristic components of the computing register and how they are constructed. We are specifically interested in this registral vocabulary from a semantic perspective. Semantics is the scientific study of meaning in the sense that it tackles how linguistic elements interrelate with extra-linguistic forms.
