Abstract

Terminology theory aims at unambiguous communication. However, as this article shows, even some established terms and concepts of terminology theory leave room for interpretation. The author, chairman of DIN standardization committee NA 105.00-01 AA (principles of terminology theory), addresses standardization (in DIN 2342) and usage of the German terms “Terminologie”, “Terminus”, “Polysemie”, “Quasisynonymie”, and “Homonymie”.
