Competition, Interaction and Standardization of Domain Terminology and Daily Language: Taking the Classification and Nomenclature of Soy Sauce as an Example
Abstract：This study focuses on competition, interaction, and standardization of domain terminology and daily language. Through investigating soy sauce markets, this study finds some problems in the classification, nomenclature, and terminology standardization of soy source varieties. This study argues that the root cause is that domain terminology fails to absorb the conventional elements in daily language to achieve benign interaction. Under the current national standard of soy sauce, the general rules of labeling should be rigidly implemented, the mandatory national standard and the year of issuance should be used, and the market variety name should be used as a secondary element to be printed on the label in brackets. The long-term goal is to absorb the conventional classifications of Shengchou (light soy sauce) and Laochou (old soy sauce) in daily language, timely promote the revised national standard of fermented soy sauce, unify the technical standards of brewing, and improve the level of soy sauce brewing technology to spawn new varieties. The healthy competition and deep interaction between domain terminology and daily language have transferable value. It is a new topic involving language competition, harmonious language life, language planning, food safety supervision, language service, language industry, sociolinguistics, journalism and communication science, and other fields, and is worthy of further exploration.
