Abstract

This paper is of metalinguistic nature: it is not on technical language in general, neither on any particular technical language, but it attempts at researching some aspects of the behaviour of the lexemes derived from the basis /tecn-/, which is common to hundreds of words. The study rests on three underpinnings: a conviction, a series of concepts and a method. It is my conviction that linguistic research must be based −more than it is nowadays− on the real language used by speakers; on these grounds, corpus are not only useful, but absolutely necessary. The kind of analysis carried out in this paper is grounded in a syntactic-pragmatic conception of modality, on the one hand, and on structural semantics, on the other hand. The results obtained are the outcome of a highly detailed analysis; from the 218 lexemes that were initially taken into account, only 125 eventually remained after a selective process; and from the 15,658 concordances that were initially considered, only 906 were fi nally selected for the analysis. These were all the concordances with the lemmas técnicamente, tecnológicamente, tecnócrata, tecnocrático and tecnifi cado, as well as a 10% of the concordances with the lemma tecnológico.
