Abstract
The terminology of a discipline consists of a set of concepts structuring the field, together with the labels associated with the concepts. Linguistic terminology is the terminology we use to describe the object ‘language.’ The study of linguistic terminology thus lies on the one hand at the intersection between terminology research in general (terminology science, terminology management, history of terminology, terminographical recording, etc.), and the study of language, or linguistics, on the other – linguistics being nothing other, as Firth remarked, than language turned back on itself.
