K. Kageura, TERMINOLOGICAL SEMANTICS - AN EXAMINATION OF CONCEPT AND MEANING IN THE STUDY OF TERMS, International forum on information and documentation, 20(4), 1995, pp. 25-31
The importance of 'concept' in the study of terms is recognized by mos
t researchers in the field. However, the theoretical status of 'concep
t' in the study of terms has not been clarified so far. Against this b
ackground, the status of 'concept' in the study of terms is theoretica
lly examined in this paper, in comparison with the status of 'meaning'
in the semantic study of general languages. Then a possible perspecti
ve is sketched from which 'concept' and 'meaning' are properly placed
in the theoretical study of terms.
