Terminology Standardization from Perspective of Terminologists

doi:10.12339/j.issn.1673-8578.2022.01.009

Abstract

Abstract:

The basic idea of traditional terminology is “concept prior to its designation”. Terminology work has the characteristics of prescriptiveness and synchronicity and its main task is to carry out human intervention on terminology, so as to achieve the standardization of terminology. With the development of terminology, terminologists disapprove of the argument of “starting from concepts” and criticize terminology standardization. Instead, they studied terms from the perspectives of culture, communication and cognition. The problems encountered in terminology standardization mainly involve the requirement of monosemy for terms and the standardization of terms in fields of humanities and social sciences. Terminology of traditional Chinese medicine is distinctively humanistic. Solving the problems with monosemy and standardization of terms of humanities and social sciences is helpful for the terminology standardization of traditional Chinese medicine.

Key words: terminology standardization, traditional terminology, contemporary terminology, monosemy, terms of humanities and social sciences, terminology standardization of traditional Chinese medicine
