| Abstract [eng] |
This Master thesis is dedicated to the contrastive analysis of tourism terms both in English and Lithuanian. The aim of the research is to compare the linguistic behaviour of tourism terms in the English and Lithuanian languages. The following hypothesis has been put forward: due to older and deeper historical traditions of tourism industry development in English speaking countries, the linguistic behaviour of tourism terms in the English language is more flexible, dynamic and more de-terminalized, i.e. English tourism terms are more abundant in synonymy, polysemy and metaphoricity. |
