4.2.1.2. Aplicación del modelo al concepto de neoplasm

Neoplasm y su equivalente neoplasia forman parte del área o dominio del cáncer; dentro de éste, pertenece a la dimensión de los tipos de tejido. Neoplasm a su vez puede ser dividido en 11 subdimensiones que se corresponden al origen o derivación histológica de las neoplasias.

Domain: cancer
Dimension: types of tissues

Archilexeme or hipernym: NEOPLASM

OBSERVACIONES PRAGMÁTICAS:

Si bien la información pragmática queda explícita en la entrada fraseológica, ya en el análisis definicional de los términos se introduce información pragmática, a través del uso de la variación de inglés americano o británico, por ejemplo. Además, la adecuación de las definiciones al lector lego es una opción de registro que refleja las características pragmáticas de nuestro trabajo. Sin embargo, en el eje paradigmático hemos concebido la información para un lector con ciertas nociones básicas en biología, partimos pues de ciertos presupuestos: asumimos que el lector está familiarizado con el significado de nociones básicas como pueden ser los conocimientos anatómicos usados en los definiens.

La información definicional está enfocada al traductor de la materia especializada que, a pesar de no ser conocedor de la materia en profundidad, sí que cuenta previsiblemente con nociones básicas de biomedicina, antes de enfrentarse a un encargo de traducción de un texto sobre el cáncer.

El usuario lego de los conceptos que se explicitan en este eje no entenderá mucho del origen histológico de los tumores o neoplasias y probablemente tampoco conocerá los términos que dicho origen activa. Conocerá más bien los tumores por su lugar de localización. Este hecho es fácil de constatar en los folletos de salud pública, destinados a la prevención del cáncer. Los tipos de cáncer son denominados según su localización, no según su origen histológico (aunque en algún lugar de los mismos se haga referencia a la denominación histológica del tumor). En un último nivel diastrático, se recurre a denominaciones de registro familiar para evitar el uso del término cáncer o tumor por las connotaciones que los mismos tienen y pueden despertar y por el desconocimiento de los mismos que el lector lego puede tener.

Dentro de la denominación de los tumores según su localización, existe variación en cuanto al orden de los elementos de la denominación en inglés, por lo que la mayoría de ellos entraría a formar parte del grupo de UF que nosotros hemos denominado non lexicalised set phrases. Por ejemplo:

Cancer of the pancreas Û pancreatic cancer

Por otro lado, la información incluida en este eje ayuda al conocimiento definicional y nocional de los conceptos, pero sobre todo al conocimiento conceptual. En concreto, el eje paradigmático nos sirve para centrar el concepto dentro del campo conceptual, relacionarlo con los conceptos superordinados y sus hiperónimos correspondientes así como con los subordinados y sus correspondientes hipónimos.

La información incluida en este eje nos facilita, como traductores, la labor de documentación, ayudándonos a establecer prioridades conceptuales en nuestra búsqueda bibliográfica y documental.
