Terminographic analysis

Terminographic analysis refers to the study and systematic description of terms (words or phrases used in a particular domain or field) and their meanings, usage, and relationships within that domain. It is an essential part of terminology management, focusing on how terms are defined, categorized, and used in specific contexts, often with an emphasis on consistency, clarity, and accuracy. This type of analysis is often used in fields such as linguistics, translation studies, and specialized areas like law, science, and medicine, where precise and standardized terminology is crucial. It typically involves creating terminologies, maintaining terminological databases (or glossaries), and analyzing how specific terms evolve over time within their respective disciplines.
