Literary notes about Terminology (AI summary)
In literature the term "terminology" functions as a marker for sets of specialized words and expressions that reveal depth and nuance in various fields of study. It appears in discussions of grammatical heritage—its roots stretching back to figures like Priscian [1]—as well as in the precise naming of structures in biology [2] and the nuances of philosophical ideas [3]. Authors have used it to highlight both the precision needed in scientific discourse [4] and the evolution of cultural practices, whether in legal classifications [5] or even in the culinary jargon of ancient kitchens [6]. The word thus encapsulates not only the technical vocabulary aligned with a particular discipline but also the broader socio-historical shifts in how language is structured and understood [7][8][9].
