Abstract

The research involved an analysis of the problem of bilingual lexicography in economic discourse for which the Italian-Croatian business dictionary by Aldo Luppi and Anita Jernej served as an example. Research results point to the difficulty of inter-language transfer in listing word pairs and of finding equivalents of the highest degree; translational, descriptive and functional equivalents raise the issue of equalizing and standardizing business terminology on national and international level. It has been considered to syntactically compare linguistic units of source and target language.
