Coining of Terms in Garages: A Case Study of Nyamagana District, Mwanza-Tanzania

Abstract Communication in Tanzanian garages is often hindered by the absence of standardized terminology, prompting mechanics and customers to resort to spontaneously coined terms to meet immediate needs. This study, conducted in the Nyamagana District of Mwanza region, aims to explore the coining and use of such terminology within garage contexts. Specific objectives include identifying the terminology utilized in real-world garage settings, analyzing the reasons for preferring spontaneous terminology over standardized terms, examining strategies for creating spontaneous terminology, and identifying gaps within the lexicon. Grounded in Coining of terms Theory, this qualitative research employed interviews, lexical questionnaires, and documentary reviews involving customers, mechanics, and technicians from Igogo, Makufuli, and Toyota garages. Findings indicate that spontaneous terminology frequently arises to address immediate communication needs and improve efficiency. Local terms often reflect the characteristics or functions of parts, facilitating practical communication. The preference for spontaneous terms stems from their relevance and adaptability, with mechanics and customers often perceiving standardized terms as overly complex. Strategies employed in the Coining of spontaneous terminology include borrowing from local languages, term modification, and the use of analogy, ensuring context-specific language. The study also identifies significant lexicon gaps, particularly in advanced automotive systems, where insufficient terminology impedes effective communication and repair processes. In conclusion, spontaneous terminology is crucial for effective communication in garages, and it is recommended that these terms be standardized to better align with the requirements of the automotive industry
