Abstract:

In order to deepen the understanding of civil engineering terminology and promote the learning of professional knowledge, we introduce the semantic triangle theory to conduct a deep analysis of civil engineering terminologies, and construct a new path for learning, mastering, and developing civil engineering terminologies. The specific key points include: the “external object/physical object” in the semantic triangle should be expanded to the generalized “external object/physical object” for civil engineering major with the addition of “hidden effects and assumption”; The relationship between “language/symbol” and “concept/meaning” helps to better understand the terminologies have same meaning but different form; The relationship between “language/symbol” and “external object/physical object/hidden effect/assumption” helps to promote the development and improvement of professional terminologies, while promote the continuous emergence of new terminologies.

Key words: semantic triangle, civil engineering, physical object, concept
