Kolokacje terminologiczne i terminy wielowyrazowe w słownikach specjalistycznych : na przykładzie leksyki motoryzacyjnej

Word groups used in specialist terminology and their presentation in specialized dictionaries are the subject of this paper. It provides an overview of the main aims of technical dictionaries – especially those which deal with automotive vocabulary, their users as well as various approaches to dealing with multiword terms in lexicographical practice. The author discusses how specialized collocations and terminological units are treated in paper and online dictionaries and how they should be. This problem seems to be important for a broad range of dictionary users – not only engineers and technicians, but also common owners of technical facilities who often talk about specialist topics in foreign languages.
