Abstract

Nowadays, there is lack of words for many cybersecurity terms in the Catalan language which require the use of loan words from English complicating the writing and translating of cybersecurity specialised texts. Furthermore, although some terms already have a suggested form in Catalan, the loan words are still used or both forms are combined. The aim of this work is to establish a form in Catalan for these terms that is plausible and useful for cybersecurity professionals. In order to achieve this, firstly the use of the cybersecurity terms in specialized texts have been observed and a descriptive glossary has been made. Subsequently, the terms that present additional issues have been selected, and the cybersecurity and Catalan language professionals have been interviewed about their opinion regarding the use of these terms. Other works regarding the creation of neologisms and the addition of loan words and calques to the Catalan language have also been read up on. Finally, the selected terms have been analysed and attempted to state the most appropriate form for them, although it is not possible to establish a definitive form and guarantee its use. In conclusion, it has been noticed that, in order to assure the use and the addition to the language of a neologism, the best solution is to use them in texts and, above all, that the professionals of the field accept it. Therefore, it would be interesting to see within some years whether the forms stated in this work as most appropriate are used and, thus, whether the opinion of the professionals differs from their current one.
