Disputatio:Societas

[recensere] Company/corporation

In German the word de:Gesellschaft has two main meanings: de:Gesellschaft (Soziologie) (in the context of sociologia) and de:Gesellschaft (Rechtswesen) (in the context of iurisprudentia). Latin seems to be similar in this case. The single word societas seems to be a valid translation for "company/corporation". In Langenscheidt I found "societas anonyma" for "Aktiengesellschaft" (en:Joint stock company), so the single word "societas" seems to be "Gesellschaft" in the sense of "company/corporation".

Now my question: ;-)

I would like to put

  • Google
  • Yahoo!
  • Microsoft
  • Fiat
  • etc

into a category and would like to have a main page for this category. Maybe:

My professor suggested "societas mercantilis" for business type company.--Ioshus (disp) 04:00, 1 Novembris 2006 (UTC)
Which, btw, I like better than the genitive "mercantorum" as cited on the page proper.--Ioshus (disp) 13:12, 1 Novembris 2006 (UTC)
