METHODOLOGY IN TERMINOLOGY WORK

Milica Gačić ; Fakultet kriminalističkih znanosti, Zagreb

Abstract

Since terms have specific meaning the principles of their choice and the use of sources are discussed. Lexicological procedures are exemplified. The points of view differ according to whether the procedure entails listing and description of the existing terms, their norming or creating the new ones. The use of computers enables text analysis (historical and modern texts) as a base to establish the use of terms, and the necessity of the study of the already existing terms. Lexicographic work should when possible be coupled with lexicological research. Examples illustrating Croatian words izviđenje, očevid and uviđaj (meaning 'crime investigation') are given.
