Keywords:
Terminology, Term formation, Methodology, Scientific discourse, Term classification, Standardization.Abstract
This article examines the theoretical foundations of the concepts “term” and “terminology.” It emphasizes that terminology is defined by accuracy, uniformity, and objectivity. The study reviews approaches to classifying and forming terms while stressing the importance of standardization in scientific communication. Drawing on the works of Cabré, Sager, and Wüster, as well as ISO standards, it demonstrates that terminology serves simultaneously as a system of concepts and a communicative tool in science. Each of these scholars contributed distinct viewpoints and methodological frameworks.
