Abstract

This paper focuses on the lack of a clear distinction between the terms method and approach in Bulgarian linguistic literature, which are used synonymously in most publications. The only serious attempt at distinguishing between them was made by M. Popova. Based on an analysis of a variety of (mostly dictionary) definitions of the two terms, the article identifies three primary distinctive features that differentiate them. This makes it possible for the two concepts to be distinguished from one another, and for the general-lexis item approach to be redefined as a term. Thus, method and approach are differentiated as two distinct, non-synonymous terms. Keywords: terminology; terms; terminologisation; method; approach; Bulgarian language
