The present article attempts to go some way towards filling this gap by looking at variation in collocations of a single term (evidence) as extracted from a general corpus and a legal one, and by exploring the implications of such variation for the retrieval of legal collocations. In particular, the study looks at a) the overrepresentation of collocations in the legal corpus, b) the underrepresentation of collocations in the legal corpus, and c) the potential of both corpora for collocation retrieval. The findings suggest that there are striking differences between the use of collocations in each corpus and that such differences can radically affect the lists of collocations obtained from each corpus.

Aby stworzyć tło do dalszych rozważań, najpierw omówiono szczególną rolę języka angielskiego w globalnej komunikacji oraz przedstawiono uwagi dotyczące istnienia anglosaskiej szkoły terminologicznej. W dalszej kolejności zaprezentowano główną część rozdziału, w której prześledzono ewolucję zainteresowania terminologią w obu krajach począwszy od pionierskich prac W. Whewella aż po współczesność. Nacisk położono na uchwycenie unikalnego charakteru badań terminologicznych w ich współczesnej fazie w obu krajach z osobna.
Abstract Anglo-Saxon terminology studies: the United Kingdom and the United States This chapter outlines major trends in the development of terminology studies in two Anglo-Saxon countries: the United Kingdom and the United States. To set the scene, it opens with a discussion of the special role of English in global communication as well as some remarks about the existence of an Anglo-Saxon school of terminology. Following this is the central part of the chapter which tracks the history of terminology in the two countries, from the pioneering work of W. Whewell to the present. Focus is placed on capturing the unique character of terminology studies in its modern phase in each of the two countries separately.

Based on a conceptual classification of terms, the systematic dictionary may prove a powerful tool for understanding the relations between the concepts. The paper explores the theoretical foundations for compiling systematic dictionaries of specialized terminology and discusses some practical issues in preparing a systematic dictionary of chemistry.

The terminological perspective serves as a starting point for the entire volume and seeks to answer questions about the nature of concept systems, the role they play in structuring terminology, as well as methods for analysing them. The complementary lexicographical perspective, meanwhile, focuses on how various aspects of concept systems can be captured in dictionaries. It considers the
theoretical and practical aspects of representing concept systems in dictionaries and suggests ways of improving such representation.

The model is intended to acquaint the dictionary’s users with the most important terms used in the field of chemistry in a way that will help them not only to understand basic chemical concepts but also to see the link between individual terms, thus providing them with more than a mere list of terms, their definitions, and their equivalents. Additionally, the dictionary will also offer help to its users when it comes to determining the order in which to study terms.
