Неологізми у професійній сфері: лінгвістичні та перекладацькі аспекти

The continuous development of science, technology, and global cooperation generates a growing number of neologisms—new lexical units that enter professional communication to designate innovative concepts, procedures, and technologies. In sectors where international coordination is essential, such as the maritime industry, the dynamic emergence of neologisms is particularly evident. These terms reflect both technological innovations (digital twin ships, smart shipping), environmental initiatives (green shipping corridor, ballast water management system), and digital communication tools (e-navigation). In the context of Foreign Language for Specific Purposes (FLSP), especially for students and professionals working with maritime discourse, the ability to recognize, interpret, and translate neologisms is not only a linguistic competence but also a professional necessity. Translation becomes the bridge that ensures accurate communication across borders, safeguarding efficiency and safety in a highly globalized sector.
