Beauty and the Beast: The current terminology in Romanian cosmetics

The research can lead to the enrichment of knowledge on cosmetic terminology through information on the linguistic specifics of cosmetic terms, to their use in specialized texts. Such a study can contribute to a more complete description of the typology of specialized discourses in the current Romanian language.
The applicative value of the paper considers the following fields: lexicography for the field of cosmetics - the appearance of a specialized dictionary (s), the enrichment of the general dictionaries of neologisms; improving the translation of cosmetic language terms and phrases (cosmetic product labels, cosmetic surgery instructions, etc.); TC accessibility for non-specialists. The areas that can benefit from the results of the TC investigation are lexicology, lexicography, didactics and translation studies. The purpose of the CT investigation for cosmetics specialists is to improve communication between them and non-specialists, as well as to solve the difficulties faced by the latter in receiving specialized cosmetic language.
We hope that this study will be the starting point in order to create a small dictionary of cosmetic terms, in order to facilitate clear and efficient communication in this field by ensuring the accessibility of cosmetic language for non-specialists and its accuracy for specialists.
