| Abstract: | [Eponyms and the language of technology] In science and technology, discoveries and innovations are often named after the discoverer or supposed discoverer. This article deals with the significance of eponyms in ESP, especially in the scientific discourse. Eponymy may be regarded as a resourceful process of vocabulary enrichment. The study is mainly based on specific teaching activities performed by students in engineering during the English seminar. Therefore, the analysis presents the way eponyms are assimilated and used by students in various technical contexts. For ESP students the final aim is to achieve a highly efficient communicative ability in their study fields. Reinforcing concepts through specific English structures integrated in meaningful situations increases the students’ interest in professional communication. |
