Biological Concepts

BioConcepts is a multilingual database which documents the origin and definition of basic biological concepts. It serves as a guide to the first uses of words, influential definitions and shifts of meaning through history. The database started life in 2008 as a supplement to the handbook Historisches Wörterbuch der Biologie. Geschichte und Theorie der biologischen Grundbegriffe (HWB) which was published in three volumes by Verlag J.B. Metzler in 2011.

Wilhelm von Humboldts Theorie der Sprachevolution
Christian Lehmann
...
Abstract

W. v. Humboldt hat eine Stufenfolge der Entwicklung der Sprachen nach dem Grad der Vervollkommnung der grammatischen Form aufgestellt und diese mit einer Sprachtypologie gekoppelt. Er unterscheidet nicht zwischen Evolution und geschichtlichem Wandel der Sprachen, sondern zwischen Phasen der Herausbildung und der Verfeinerung. Danach charakterisiert der herausgebildete Typ eine Sprache ein für allemal.

Im Lichte moderner Forschungen zur Sprachtypologie und zur panchronischen Dynamik grammatischer Formen und Kategorien sind an Humboldts Konzeption mehrere Aspekte interessant:

• 1. die Möglichkeit, zwischen den Polen des rein lexikalischen und des grammatisch geformten Ausdrucks einen stufenweisen Übergang festzustellen;
• 2. die Frage, ob Sprachwandel auf der allgemeinsten Ebene, wie W. v. Humboldt meint, linear (nämlich auf Vervollkommnung gerichtet) oder, wie G. v.d. Gabelentz meint, spiralförmig verläuft;
• 3. die Frage, ob der beobachtbare Sprachwandel und vorfindliche Sprachtypen Rückschlüsse auf frühe Evolutionsstufen der menschlichen Sprache zulassen;
• 4. die Möglichkeit, Sprachtypen in einem Raum anzuordnen, der ihre Dynamik und die möglichen Übergänge zwischen ihnen repräsentiert. Humboldt ist in solchen Fragen durchaus ein moderner Gesprächspartner, insofern seine theoretischen Konzeptionen an intensive empirische Untersuchungen, sowohl deskriptiver als auch sprachvergleichender Art, zurückgebunden sind.

Cole, Theodor C. H. / Haußer-Siller, Ingrid
Wörterbuch der Biologie
Dictionary of Biology
Deutsch-Englisch / English-German

Kurzbeschreibung
Das kompakte, übersichtliche und vielseitige Wörterbuch der Biologie hat sich für Übersetzer, aber auch für Dozenten und Studenten sowie Lehrer und Schüler als unentbehrlicher Begleiter durch den Dschungel der englischsprachigen biologischen Fachbegriffe erweisen. Es erschließt mit 50.000 Begriffen alle Bereiche der Biowissenschaften, der Botanik, Zoologie und Evolution ebenso wie der Molekular- und Mikrobiologie, und berücksichtigt auch Nachbardisziplinen. Das zweisprachige Buch eignet sich damit für alle Lehrenden und Lernenden, aber auch alle Wissenschaftler der Biologie und der Nachbardisziplinen als Einstieg in die englischsprachige Fachliteratur und als Nachschlagewerk. Die beiden Biologen Theodor Cole, gebürtiger Amerikaner, und Ingrid Haußer-Siller verfügen über langjährige Erfahrungen mit Fachübersetzungen und wissenschaftlichen Publikationen. Konsequent strukturiert haben sie das zweisprachige Wörterbuch in Wortfelder, die eine Themenbereichs-Recherche erlauben.

Über den Autor
Theodor C. H. Cole ist amerikanischer Staatsbürger und arbeitet als Dozent, Übersetzer und Autor in Heidelberg. Er studierte Biologie, Chemie und Physik an den Universitäten Heidelberg, Berkeley und Paris und forschte biochemisch-analytisch an Naturstoffen. Mehrere Jahre unterrichtete er an der University of Maryland, European Division, und ist derzeit am Institut für Pharmazie und Molekulare Biotechnologie der Universität Heidelberg tätig.

Wörterbuch Biotechnologie
Dictionary of Biotechnology
Deutsch-Englisch / English-German

Kurzbeschreibung
Das Wörterbuch behandelt alle Bereiche der Biotechnologie. Thematische Begriffsfelder (clusters) in diesem Wörterbuch ermöglichen die zusammenhängende Bearbeitung eines Themas; durch die Sammlung thematisch verwandter Begriffe unter den jeweiligen übergeordneten Hauptstichwörtern erhöht sich die Trefferwahrscheinlichkeit bei der Wortsuche, und somit wird die Arbeit beim Übersetzen erleichtert. Dieses zusätzlich zur gewöhnlichen alphabetischen Ordnung verwendete Konzept hat sich gegenüber den einfachen Wortlisten anderer Wörterbücher hervorragend bewährt.
