Answer 2

It is the study of terms, words used in specific contexts. For instance, I am teaching a class in medical terminology, which means that I am teaching a course where the medical technical terms and jargon are explored and learned. This may be limited to one language or can cover more than one language at the same time as in my bilingual terminology course in French and English.

Answer 3

Terminology, in its general sense, simply refers to the usage and study of terms, that is to say words and compound words generally used in specific contexts.

Terminology also refers to a more formal discipline which systematically studies of the labelling or designating of concepts particular to one or more subject fields or domains of human activity, through research and analysis of terms in context, for the purpose of documenting and promoting correct usage. This study can be limited to one language or can cover more than one language at the same time (multilingual terminology, bilingual terminology, and so forth).


The discipline of terminology is based on its own theoretical principles and consists primarily of the following aspects:

analysing the concepts and concept structures used in a field or domain of activity
identifying the terms assigned to the concepts
in the case of bilingual or multilingual terminology, establishing correspondences between terms in the various languages
compiling the terminology, on paper or in databases
managing terminology databases
creating new terms, as required


Types of terminology
A distinction is made between two types of terminology:

Ad hoc terminology, which deals with a single term or a limited number of terms
Systematic terminology, which deals with all the terms in a specific subject field or domain of activity
Ad hoc terminology is prevalent in the translation profession, where a translation for a specific term (or group of terms) is required quickly to solve a particular translation problem.

Terminology as a discipline
As a discipline, terminology is related to translation alongside which it is often taught in universities and translation schools. Large translation departments and translation bureaus will often have a terminology section, or will require translators to do terminology research.

Answer 5

Due to the highly structured nature of the Factbook database, some collective generic terms have to be used. For example, the word Country in the Country name entry refers to a wide variety of dependencies, areas of special sovereignty, uninhabited islands, and other entities in addition to the traditional countries or independent states. Military is also used as an umbrella term for various civil defense, security, and defense activities in many entries. The Independence entry includes the usual colonial independence dates and former ruling states as well as other significant nationhood dates such as the traditional founding date or the date of unification, federation, confederation, establishment, or state succession that are not strictly independence dates. Dependent areas have the nature of their dependency status noted in this same entry.
