Abstract
The article approaches the conceptual boundaries of adult education by analyzing a series of concepts from the Romanian educational literature, such as andragogy, popular education, social pedagogy, adult pedagogy. Beyond the previously stated purpose, the epistemological conceptualization process is based on a fundamental principle: the predominance of these terminological constructions in Romanian educational literature. For the purpose of explaining the semantic relations in the terminology related to adult education, we identified several circumstances where meanings originating in international literature are analyzed separately by Romanian authors: eg. Andragogy, a term introduced in the Romanian educational literature by Dimitrie Gusti, or Adult Didactics, an integrating concept advanced by Fr. Urbanczyk and developed by Leon Topa in the Romanian literature. The setting of this type of semantic sliders and highlighting the way that contextual features have contributed to the meaning of terminological construction analysed in this study.
