Sažetak

Basic anthropological terminologyi is the first project covering terms from the domain of the social sciences under the
Croatian Special Field Terminology program (Strunaii). Problems that have been sporadically noticed or whose existence
could have been presumed during the processing of terms mainly from technical fields and sciences have finally emerged
in »anthropology«. The principles of the General Theory of Terminology (GTT), which are followed in Struna, were put
to a truly exacting test, and sometimes stretched beyond their limits when applied to concepts that do not necessarily have
references in the physical world; namely, abstract and metaphysical conceptsiii. We are currently developing a new terminographical
model based on Idealized Cognitive Models (ICM), which will hopefully ensure a better cross-filed implementation
of various types of concepts and their relations. The goal of this paper is to introduce the theoretical bases of
our model. Additionally, we will present a pilot study of the series of experiments in which we are trying to investigate the
nature of conceptual categorization in special languages and its proposed difference form categorization in general language.
