Résumé

This publication, which results from Kreuder's "Habilitationsschrift" of 2001 at the University of Marburg, investigates the development of terminological reference works in Germany within the field of linguistics, and approaches in the compilation of these works. Kreuder (2003: 3) defines "special-field terms in linguistics" or "linguistic terminology" as those terms belonging to a special class of lexical items on a metalinguistic level by means of which information about language can be conveyed. His main aim is to determine how linguists and lexicographers presented special-field linguistic terms up to the late 1990s, and to establish the usability of a wide range of especially German linguistic dictionaries with regard to the needs of the intended users. In this investigation, the conceptual strong points and weak points of the dictionaries under discussion are specifically mentioned.
