| Abstract from DBPedia | Terminology is a group of specialized words and respective meanings in a particular field, and also the study of such terms and their use; the latter meaning is also known as terminology science. A term is a word, compound word, or multi-word expressions that in specific contexts is given specific meanings—these may deviate from the meanings the same words have in other contexts and in everyday language. Terminology is a discipline that studies, among other things, the development of such terms and their interrelationships within a specialized domain. Terminology differs from lexicography, as it involves the study of concepts, conceptual systems and their labels (terms), whereas lexicography studies words and their meanings. Terminology is a discipline that systematically studies the "labelling or designating of concepts" particular to one or more subject fields or domains of human activity. It does this through the research and analysis of terms in context for the purpose of documenting and promoting consistent usage. Terminology can be limited to one or more languages (for example, "multilingual terminology" and "bilingual terminology"), or may have an interdisciplinarity focus on the use of terms in different fields.学術用語（がくじゅつようご、英: terminology）は、学問に関する事柄を記述するための用語のこと。専門用語の一種。しばしば術語（じゅつご）と略される。 一般の言葉と比較して、定義のはっきりしていることが求められる。議論を進めるにあたって、事柄の意味自体にずれがあっては結論が導けないからである。結果として学術用語は、一般で使われる場合よりも意味の範囲が狭いことが多く、何らかの定義がなされている。用語によっては、一般で使われる場合と意味が違っているものもある。 経時的な意味の変化を防ぐため、ラテン語やギリシア語など変化の少ない言語を利用することも多い。 (Source: http://dbpedia.org/resource/Terminology) |
