In English, Danish and German

H.K. Bock
G. Frey
I.R. Bock, Ringkøbing, Denmark

This volume is a general dictionary within the areas of company, business and financial law, where the selection of terms is based primarily on established and emerging usages within Community legal terminology. The volume provides definitions and general explanations in English, supplemented with specific explanations in Danish and/or German as required. The careful arrangement of terms in Danish and German allows near-independent use between these two languages. Heavy emphasis is placed on idiomatic language use with the inclusion of a large number of complex verb and noun phrases, everyday abbreviated terms, and names of institutions etc. When making the selection of terms, the compilers used their experience as professional translators of commercial and theoretical legal and financial documents. The dictionary will be invaluable to Community business people, lawyers, accountants, translators and students.

NEW!
Elsevier's Dictionary of Export Financing and Credit Insurance
In English, German and French; Second, Enlarged Edition

P. Dorscheid, Hamburg, Germany

Cover Page    The world is changing and so are international trades in goods and services, their financing as well as their traditional forms of ensuring and guaranteeing. The second edition of this dictionary takes account of this ongoing development.

    Twenty years ago, export credit insurance was, nearly exclusively, a matter of state support to the exporting industry: preferential financing facilities offered through state banks and public export credit insurance through governmental or state-near export credit agencies (ECAs). The terminology was dependent on the national legal and commercial systems of these institutions. Ten years ago, it became obvious that export credit insurance was no longer an exclusive matter of ECAs when all major private credit insurers began to offer cover for commercial risks. Today, we are at the edge of covering even political risks on the account of private credit insurance companies and their reinsurers.

These economic developments left their traces in the terminology of export financing and credit insurance and will continue to do so in the future. This dictionary may be useful to practitioners, exporters, bankers and credit insurance companies in particular, as well as to specialised translators, scholars and scientists.

Elsevier's Dictionary of Financial Terms
In English, German, Spanish, French, Italian and Dutch
Second Revised and Enlarged Edition

D. Phillips
M.-C. Bignaud
F.J. Thomson, University of Antwerp (RUCA), Belgium

Since the publication of the first edition of this dictionary (1979), the world of finance has undergone many profound changes. The compilers of this second edition have taken account of these developments by eliminating outdated entries, by including about 450 new ones and by updating and thoroughly revising all other entries. This dictionary thus fully reflects the terminology currently in use in the world of finance. It has easy multilingual cross-referencing via indexes, is user-friendly, and presents an exhaustive combination of a dictionary with a thesaurus. It is descriptive, rather than prescriptive, and thus records all the terms actually in use to express particular concepts, leaving the choice of the most appropriate equivalent, which obviously depends on the context, to the user.

Elsevier's Dictionary of Greek and Latin Word Constituents
Greek and Latin affixes, words and roots used in English, French, German, Dutch, Italian and Spanish

G. Lurquin, Centre de Terminologie de Bruxelles, Institut Libre Marie Haps, Brussels, Belgium

Modern languages borrowed not only the roots, but also prefixes, suffixes and whole words from Greek and Latin. This dictionary of Greek and Latin word constituents lists thousands of these constituents, together with examples of their use in modern English, French, German, Dutch, Italian and Spanish, and often their etymology.

It will be invaluable to both teachers and students of translation and interpretation. Specialists and students in the fields of medicine, astronomy, physics, chemistry and biology will also find this an indispensible tool.

J.L. De Lucca, Sao Paulo, Brazil

This dictionary with 3962 terms and 2000 abbreviations in five languages, covers the traditional terminology of insurance and the most recent terms associated with new technologies. Special attention has been paid to the areas of transport insurance, fire insurance, life insurance and environmental risks.

Elsevier's Dictionary of the Labour Market
In English, German, Swedish, Spanish and French

U. von Kunhardt
I. Llistosella-Matzky

This dictionary is intended to be a help to all those who work within or are involved with the sometimes very complicated field of labour relations: trade unionists and employer and employee representatives in the broadest sense of the word, businessmen, interpreters and translators. As international co-operation in this field grows closer and becomes more and more important, fast and easy understanding assumes a vital role. Unfortunately, the organizational systems differ so much from one country to the other, mostly due to historical reasons, that it is often very difficult to translate expressions from one language into the other. This dictionary, which is based on terminology that has largely been collected in the course of the authors' practical work, is intended to help solve this problem.

The dictionary offers many multiword expressions, typical in this field, and includes terms from several related areas, such as labour law, education and training, social security, insurance, social policy and the patent and technological development fields. Furthermore, it includes general conference terminology and the names of institutions, government agencies and international organizations.

D.C. van Hoof, University of Antwerp, Belgium
D. Verbruggen, CLT Language Centre, University of Louvain, Belgium
C.H. Stoll, Eurolux Computers S.a.r.l., Altrier, Luxembourg

Cover Page    This dictionary was conceived to provide both the professional and the non-professional user with basic legal terminology in the forever changing pattern of world politics and the internationalisation, globalisation, of legal issues. Terms were selected from internationally accepted and used sources: basic documents (important treaties, conventions, agreements, protocols, model laws, uniform practices, recommendations, reports, rules etc.), relevant legal concepts, such as the "lex mercatoria" (principles of international trade law), and generally accepted legal terms in international trade (such as the Incoterms).

    The following legal areas received special attention: accounting, administrative, banking, canon, civil, commercial, communication, contract, corporate, criminal, customs, disputes, economic, education, environment, European Union, family, financial, fiscal, history, industrial property, insurance, intermediaries in international trade (agent, distributor), international co-operation, international public, international trade, intellectual property, labour, legal professions, legislative, maritime, medical, military, penal, personal, private international, procedural, property, public, social, succession, tort, (international) trade, transport, and transfer of technology law.

Elsevier's Dictionary of Library Science, Information and Documentation
In English/American (with definitions), French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, German and Arabic

W.E. Clason
S. Salem

The word "document" conjures up to most a medium of past or present information, which could be in the form of a clay tablet of antiquity or a modern encyclopaedia. It is justifiable, therefore, to assume that this dictionary encompasses several wide-ranging subjects. The fields covered are also closely related, a fact which can be attributed to the enormous impact of automation and technology. In clarifying various topics, Mr. Clason has listed specific documents - in itself an unusual approach which will do much to assist operational scientists. The inclusion of an Arabic supplement enhances the value of the dictionary which is an essential tool for libraries, documentation centres and specialists in the field.
