Terminology

Terminology
 
Terminology is both a « science studying the structure, formation, development, usage and management of terminologies in various subject fields » [ISO 1087-1: “Terminology work – Vocabulary – Part 1: Theory and application”] and the result of its application to a domain, i.e. a « set of designations belonging to one special language » [ibid].
 
Terminology has a double dimension, linguistic and conceptual (a term is a « verbal designation of a concept » [Ibid]), touching upon many areas such as concept theory, neologism, standardization, operationalization, etc.
