Abstract:

We examined the multi-disciplinary literature on the noun comparison of the both sides of the Taiwan Strait. We found that the steps of the research progress and logical reasoning of the research were seldom described in the current literature. Based on the present literature, the paper introduces the organizational profiles, naming methods and orientations of the Journalism and Communication Review and Translation committees on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and summarizes the experience of the participants of the Journalism and Communication Committee for Terms in the form of a comparison table, which includes: (1)Reasoning of the term choice; (2)Term validation progress; (3)Subject characteristics. We hope to provide an example for the comparative work or serve as a scientific reference for the members of the China National Committee for Terms in Sciences and Technologies.
