La terminologie des énergies renouvelables entre communication institutionnelle et savoirs spécialisées

The analysis of renewable energies terminology shows the variation of this special lexicon, whose sources are composed of a varied range of text types meeting different communication needs. A concept tree helps to point out the main areas to explore, such as technology and commercial services. A study of the environmental impact assessment within the international normative texts illustrates the terminological distribution of the field of “environment” from a comparative French/Italian perspective. The terminological products here described are extremely useful tools for the popularisation of specialized knowledge to the general public.
