Abstract:

The process by which ordinary words evolve into technical terms is remarkable, and every subject field pays close attention to the development and evolution of its own terms. In the field of Chinese exegetics, how the exegetical terms come from the general terms is also remarkable. Taking the commonly used exegetical terms as an example, through the methods of literature review, quantitative, qualitative and statistical induction, this paper studies the terminological process and evolution law of these exegetical terms, it can not only solve the divergence of terminology standard, connotation and function analysis of exegetical terms, but also help to explore the process of terminology and general evolution of common terms.

Key words: exegetical terms, terminologization, law of evolution
