TRANSLATING ENGLISH MATHEMATICAL EPONYMS

  • Floriana POPESCU Dunarea de Jos University of Galati, Romania

Abstract

The current study pertains to a comprehensive project so designed as to follow two major
directions. On the one hand, English eponyms are described both in general and in particular
terms, starting from their evolving definitions and presenting possible classification criteria as well
as in approaching details, focusing on structures and meanings. In addition they are compared
with their Romanian meaningfully corresponding patterns and are analyzed in terms of the
solutions advanced by reliable sources of documentation regarding the translation of personal names derived lexemes or lexical formations which pertain to science terminologies. To the same
extent, this current study is a sequel to a descriptive approach of the English mathematical
eponyms (Popescu 2009a).
