Abstract:

Terminology is the carrier of the concept of subject knowledge and the keyword aggregation of subject system knowledge, which is the core in the subject paradigm language. Based on the construction of the corpus of mathematics textbooks, this article deeply examines the actual usage of terms in current mathematics textbooks from a dynamic perspective, reveals its typicality and non-typicality, and summarizes the common problems in the application of terms, so as to provide an effective path for developing a more normative glossary of mathematics textbooks, and proposes a targeted normalization strategy for the use of terms in mathematics textbooks and learning materials. Based on this study, this article also points out that the validation of the normative terminology database should rely on the dynamic circulating terminology corpus and refer to the terminology database in the special field if necessary.

Key words: mathematics textbooks, terminology normalization, actual usage, normative terminology database
