Abstract:
The thesis, titled Handball Terminology: lexical and lexicographic study and proposal of a lemmata for a specialty dictionary for general public, is motivated by the absence of investigations about handball from a linguistic point of view. Thus, this work shows the process of elaboration of a terminological work in the field of handball. In first place, the language of handball has been framed in the Communicative Theory of Terminology. In second place, two handball textual corpora have been constituted, one is historical and the other one is contemporary. In third place, the terms included in both corpora have been analyzed to observe its lexical characteristics. In fourth place, the presence of the terms of the corpora in both general Spanish dictionaries and handball dictionaries has been analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. The dissatisfaction produced by the results of these analysis regarding the scarcity and inaccuracy of handball terms in both types of dictionaries, on the one side, and the inexistence of handball dictionaries for the general public on the other, has led to the creation of a lemmata. Throughout the development of this thesis, two corpora and the lexical and lexicographic analysis have been carried out and presented. These studies are not only used to achieve the main objective of this thesis, establish a lemmata, but also they are fundamental contributions for the future elaboration of a handball dictionary for the general public.
