Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study is based on the assumption that the technology import pattern of a country can be understood through the analysis of the process how technical terms are created in the selected country context. In this study, seven basic terms of 25 languages spreading from Asia, Africa and Europe are studied. While further investigation is required, this study showed that this line of study can produce an effective approach to the technology transfer history.
