Terminology Work, Terminology Management, Terminography – Potato, Patato or Not Exactly?

Abstract

This paper focuses on the definitions of three broad concepts of Terminology which<br/>are sometimes considered identical, sometimes partly overlapping, and sometimes<br/>different – terminology work, terminology management, and terminography. I use the<br/>latest editions of ISO standards on terminology work, terminology policies, and<br/>terminology products, as well as the two biggest manuals on terminology and terminology management as my research material. The methodology includes textual<br/>analysis, concept analysis, and semantic analysis. The referential part is followed by<br/>an analytical section, after which a set of principles is established for redefining the<br/>concepts, and tentative proposals are made on how they may be redefined.
