Abstract:

In this study we aimed to investigate the disparities in terminology research between the domestic and international domains. Utilizing data from CNKI (854 articles) and the journal Terminology (216 articles), we employed the tool CiteSpace to conduct a comparative analysis of terminology research themes over the past two decades from the keyword perspective. The research revealed that the domestic terminology study are more focused on term translation, while foreign research leaned towards term extraction. Based on the above distinction, a corpus analysis tool, Antconc, was utilized to search and analyze terms such as “term translation”/“terminology translation” and “terminology automatic extraction” in abstracts of these papers, allowing for a more nuanced exploration of the differences. This study contributes to enriching the discussion of terminology research topics and promoting a comparative analysis of terminology research at the national and international levels.

Key words: terminology themes, terminology research, terminology extraction
