Abstract

The paper considers a variant of combining the terms used in the field related to the study of fire protection means into a terminological system. The correct definition of terms is also crucial in technological and manufacturing processes. That is why it was decided to form and describe the terminological system in the field of fire protection and fire retardant materials. The terms in terminological system are to be related between each other, and to be expressing the relationship between the concepts that they denote. Such a system does not yet exist in the field of fire protection, so the authors aim was to create its basis. The types of relations between the terms defining the structure of the system have been established, a diagram that illustrates the distribution and coordination of terms in the system has been developed. On the basis of the relations between the terms established in the terminological system, the existing definitions were assessed with subsequent, if necessary, adjustments to meet the requirements for the terms of unambiguity, compliance with the expressed concept and elimination of synonymy.

Highlights

  • The consistency, clarity and accuracy of the presentation of information inherent in the language of science is largely associated with the wide use of words and phrases of a terminological nature

  • In the left column of the diagram, there are terms denoting the types of fire protection means with the relationship between them established based on the classification

  • The horizontal links indicated in the diagram illustrate the relationship between the terms corresponding to the concepts which denote products, the technology of its application and the result of application and related to one of the types of fire protection means

Summary

Introduction

The consistency, clarity and accuracy of the presentation of information inherent in the language of science is largely associated with the wide use of words and phrases of a terminological nature. The feature that determines the scientific and technical term is the expression of the concept of a special area of knowledge [2]. - full meaning, which is understood as the reflection in the meaning of the term of the minimum number of features sufficient to identify the designated concept; - consistency, which means that the term should be an element of an interconnected system of terms. Requirements for a term operate within a specific system of terms, called a terminological system, which is usually understood as a set of terms with fixed relations between them, expressing the relationship between the concepts that they denote. Relationships between concepts are expressed by various types of connections: generic, partitive, associative
