The main directions of studying terminological vocabulary

Abstract

The article is devoted to one of the poorly studied problems of terminology systematics. The interest in this problem can be explained by the fact that it is associated with the question of the organization of scientific knowledge. From these positions, we consider the consistency of terminology as one of the ways to study thinking. Traditionally, the problem of the systematic nature of the term was studied in relation to the concept of structuralism. The main criterion was the degree of organization of the term set. The structure was associated with a lower level of organization, and the system was characterized by a higher level of organization. The traditional views on consistency have proved to be unproductive, since they have not found significant confirmation in the analysis of practical material. In this article, we make an attempt to develop the concept of the main directions of studying terminological vocabulary and fill it with content related to the methodological and cognitive aspects of studying the term.
