Abstract

The analysis and impact of terminological richness in physics texts are crucial for scientific research, defining communication within the field. Physics, as a discipline, uses specialized terms for precise descriptions. Terminological richness in physics texts is vital for scientific communication. This study explores two approaches: examining texts from a terminology standpoint and comparing terminological richness levels with reader perception. Both approaches are essential, with the second being more developed. In the analysis of terminology and terminological richness in scientific-popular and media texts, terms are categorized into four groups: specialized, interdisciplinary, external, and general. The research reveals extensive terminology in physical texts, potentially hindering comprehension for non-experts. Balancing terminology usage for clarity across readerships is crucial. Conclusions stress adapting physics texts for diverse audiences, creating texts with varying terminological richness. Future research can explore terminology's impact in different physics domains, optimizing its use for easy comprehension
