THE CREATION OF COMPUTER TERMS IN THE ARMENIAN LANGUAGE AND MEANS FOR ELIMINATING TERM VARIATIONS

Abstract

The rapid growth of computer technology, the enlargement of computer services and the development of information technologies is accompanied with an urgent necessity of translating the computational terminology into Armenian. The creation of computer terms in the Armenian language, term variations and the ways of replenishment of computational terminology in Armenian have been observed in this paper. A comparative analysis of 57 English and Armenian terms from computational terminology dictionaries has been carried out to understand the main problems of term equivalents, to determine the origins of diversity and to develop points for eliminating term variations in Armenian.
