The need for constructing a lexicographical theory with a particular focus on specialised dictionaries for learners is well documented in recent publications. This will imply paying attention to, at least, four basic lexicographic categories: learners; the learner's situation; the learner's needs; dictionary assistance. In one or other way, these categories are analysed in this book, whose eleven chapters are grouped into three parts. Part 1 reflects on some of the main ideas defended by the function theory of lexicography, perhaps the theoretical framework that has paid more attention to specialised lexicography. Part 2 presents some proposals that have already being explored in the field of general learner's dictionary and must be incorporated into specialised metalexicography: cultural aspects; figurative meaning; the inclusion of grammatical information; the use of corpora. Part 3 introduces the state of play regarding specialised dictionaries in China and offers some ideas for coping with the proliferation of terminological glossaries in Internet. The book also describes Enrique Alcaraz's academic achievements, together with some personal anecdotes, and a personal short tribute to his memory.

La internacionalización del mundo financiero es una realidad, y la liberalización de los sistemas financieros han producido una mayor flexibilización de contratación en los mercados internacionales. Este diccionario ofrece un compendio explicativo de la extensa serie de términos de la lengua inglesa que se usan con frecuencia en español dentro del ámbito de la terminología de los mercados financieros. El autor ha tratado de aproximarse al tema desde una óptica real. Las voces y expresiones aquí registradas son conocidas y usadas regularmente por todos aquellos que, de una manera directa o indirecta, se mueven en el mundo económico y financiero. Resulta interesante el tratamiento lingüístico de la etimología más próxima que se da al término para conocer con mayor rigor y exactitud el por qué se usa y su vinculación con la jerga, ya que, recordemos, la terminología financiera está basada la mayoría de las veces, en el habla cotidiana. Esta obra puede ser útil para los filólogos, traductólogos, economistas y abogados ya que los foros de la filología moderna han incorporado a sus planteamientos tradicionales los estudios que se ocupan del uso de los idiomas en contextos especializados. En este diccionario se recogen ejemplos reales tomados de la prensa económica española actual, de las dos variedades más comunes del inglés, el británico y el americano, aunque más bien podríamos hablar de inglés internacional ya que la globalización de los mercados ha hecho que desaparezcan algunos rasgos diferenciales.

Is trading stocks, bonds, commodities, real estate a form of investing? Precisely, is trading a security a form of investing? This book strives to let you answer this question. Not only that, it actually takes you through the rudimentary processes of trading them. It attempts to resolve the ambiguities surrounding trading and investing which discourages people from engaging in the act. It uses practical examples to show you how the money market and the capital markets can work to your advantage. The term “day-trading” is seen as precarious. But is it really? What if there were terms like “week-trading,” “month-trading” or even “year-trading” or more so, “decade-trading.” Then seemly precarious nature of trading will be removed. As a result the definitions of trading and investing begin to converge. Investing is the act of committing resources, especially, money to a venture to generate profits. The time element of investing can be as short as nano-seconds or as long as centuries or millenniums. Going by this, the infinitesimal timeline in trading securities should not make that venture any less than investing. So trading as this book considers transcends daily or hourly momentum: it also delves into far longer periods-decades and centuries. Whenever an investment product is bought and sold, it had been essentially “traded” irrespective of the time lapse.
