2. Terminology- A) Conversion
|

Conversion
is a general term denoting all changes that happen when phonological
and/or morphological elements of a particular language are transferred
to another language. Particularly this concerns transformations
from one script into another. Names may be converted from Roman
script into Arabic, from Thai into Russian, etc. Speaking of
the direction of the conversion, there is the source script
(also called donor script) - in terms of which a name is originally
produced; the other is the target script (or receiver
script) - into which a name is converted. Romanization
is a conversion from non-Roman into Roman script, e.g.:
Conversion is effected by
either transcription or transliteration.
