Description: In doing translations, Parliament's language practitioners are normally guided by in-house editorial policies and uniformity guidelines. As is the case in all subject fields and domains of specialised activity, terminology is essential for promoting technical communication and achieving a high level of accuracy in the product. The terms were collected from the following sources: Hansard reports (parliamentary debates); Parliamentary proceedings (speeches, motions, notices of motions); Parliamentary papers (order papers, minutes, announcements, tablings and committee reports); and Legislation (Acts, Bills, government notices, proclamations and Gazettes). It is therefore essentially a multilingual list containing the source language terms in English with equivalents in the 10 other official languages.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 77-78).
