This anthology breaks new ground by imposing a triadic motif on the problem of nomination. It surmounts the terminological barrier erected by a single category through the innovative triad Nominalization – Nomination – Naming. The content is arranged into three sections which deal first with the theoretical and applied aspect of the triptych, secondly with its immediate linguistic habitat and thirdly with disciplines which are directly impacted by the topic.
The contributions themselves very often express a linguistic bias but they also take an anthropological, semiotic, translatological or didactic stance so that this volume will appeal to a variety of interests.
