religious terminology, equivalents, diversity, Orthodoxy, lexicographyAbstract
The article provides an analysis of vast and diverse Orthodox terminology in English in the context of attempts to gather, arrange, systematize and define Orthodox terminology in Polish language. Although majority of contemporary Orthodox theological writings is published in English, the Orthodox religious terminology in the language is not uniform and systematized yet. Accessible dictionaries contain only small part of the vast terminology and phraseology. The article describes sources and rules of selection of English equivalents to Orthodox terms presented in the Dictionary of Polish Orthodox Terminology.
