Chart 2 focuses exclusively on the Descriptive Translation methods, which have been retrieved from codified resources (IFC; UN; UN-1; UNTERM; UNCITRAL; UNCITRAL-1; OECD and OECD-1) and have been presented in section 2 of the Case Study (2. Descriptive Translation methods. Analysis). Calque and Descriptive Translation (Calque and DT) has proven to be the most frequent term creation method and accounts for 48 % of all the terms. It is followed by Additional or Irrelevant Components (26%) and Pure Descriptive Translation (Pure DT) (25%). The most infrequent DT method is Direct Loan and DT, which has created only 1 % of the terms.
