Description
The validity of traditional terminology principles
(Wusterian) has been lately questioned by specialists. The main point
of discussion is the term nature, for traditional terminology it is a
symbol which permits a universal denomination of the concepts of a
domain. However, for descriptive terminology, most recent approach of
term analysis claims that a term is a linguistic sign and, therefore,
belongs to a linguistic system. Thus, terminologies are not universals
concepts, but they belong to a specific language, i.e., to a specific
discourse. Some linguistic facts (semantic relations) confirm this
approach as polysemy and synonymy.

Table ronde:
Terminologie Traditionnelle et Terminologie Descriptive

La validité des principes de la terminologie traditionnelle
(Wüsterienne) est en train dêtre questionnée par plusieurs
spécialistes. La discussion tourne autour de la nature du terme qui,
selon la théorie traditionnelle, est un symbole qui permet la
dénomination universelle des concepts des domaines de
spécialité. Toutefois, selon la plus récente approche en
terminologie, la terminologie descriptive revendique que le terme est
un signe linguistique et que pour cette raison il appartient à un
système linguistique donné. Selon cette approche, les terminologies
ne seraient pas universelles, mais elles appartiendraient à une
langue, donc à un discours spécialisé. Certains faits linguistiques
(relations sémantiques) corroborent cette approche tels que la
polysémie et la synonymie.


Mesa redonda:
Terminologia Tradicional & Terminologia Descritiva

A validade dos princípios da Terminologia Tradicional (wusteriana)
vem sendo há algum tempo questionada por vários especialistas. A
discussão principal gira em torno da natureza do termo que seria,
segundo a teoria clássica, equivalente a um símbolo, daí então a
possibilidade de uma denominação universal dos conceitos das áreas
de especialidades. No entanto, uma nova perspectiva de análise do
termo veiculada pela Terminologia Descritiva afirma que o termo é um
signo linguístico e, portanto, vincula-se a um determinado sistema
linguístico. Desse modo, as terminologias não seriam universais, mas
próprias a uma língua, portanto a uma sociedade. Alguns fatos
necessariamente linguísticos corroboram essa perspectiva, tais como a
polissemia e a sinonímia terminológica.
