Working Group Terminology

Symposium on Terminology 2011Castle of Reichenau

1. Situation1. Situation

• 2.1 AAP-6 Glossary of Terms and Definitions is not satisfying.

Many terms that require definitions, e.g. in ATP-3.2.1 Allied Land Tactics, are not listed in AAP-6.

• 2.2 Many dictionaries, word lists, glossaries etc. with inconsistencies existing

• 2.3 Updating process takes much time! Cannot rely on NSA only.

2.2. Guidelines for national WGs Guidelines for national WGs

• Start with ATP-3.2.1 Allied Land Tactics (9 Nov 2009).

• Extract those terms that require definitions from the perspective of a non-military language teacher or translator.

• Terms contained in ATP-3.2.1 but not listed in AAP-6 could primarily be taken from JP 1-02 Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms.

• Unless listed there, they could be taken from FM 1-02 Operational Terms and Graphics.

• Unless listed in AAP-6, JP 1-02, FM 1-02 or similar national documents, terms are to be quoted with no definitions.

• Terms quoted with no definitions are to be defined in English by the respective working group, considering the context of ATP 3.2.1.

• National working groups must include linguistic and military experts.

2.2. Guidelines for national WGs Guidelines for national WGs

3. Evaluation3. Evaluation

• WG results are to be posted on the BILC website.

• Evaluation has to be done by military English native speakers.

5. Way Ahead5. Way Ahead

• Evaluated results in English to be published on BILC website.

• Nations establish equivalencies in their respective languages on the English basis created with the help of ATP-3.2.1 and AAP-6 (only for national training purposes aiming at interoperability).

• Next document we should deal with: AJP-3.2 Allied Joint Doctrine for Land Operations (Oct 2009)

• Benefit for national teachers and translators from a multilingual database.

• Later on: NSA process.

We have only 9 chapters.
