術語是對術語及其用法的研究。術語是指在特定語境中賦予特定含義的單詞、復合詞或多詞表達，這些詞可能與相同單詞在其他語境和日常語言中的含義有所偏離。[需要澄清][1]術語是一門專門研究術語的發展及其在特定領域內的相互關系的學科。術語學不同于詞典學，因為它涉及概念、概念系統及其標簽(術語)的研究，而詞典學則研究單詞及其含義。術語是一門系統地研究人類活動的一個或多個主題領域或領域的“概念的標記或指定”的學科。它通過研究和分析上下文中的術語來實現這一點，目的是記錄和促進一致的使用。術語可以局限于一種或多種語言(例如，“多語言術語”和“雙語術語”)，也可以具有跨學科性，側重于在不同領域使用術語。

Terminology is the study of terms and their use. Terms are words and compound words or multi-word expressions that in specific contexts are given specific meanings—these may deviate from the meanings the same words have in other contexts and in everyday language.[clarification needed][1] Terminology is a discipline that studies, among other things, the development of such terms and their interrelationships within a specialized domain. Terminology differs from lexicography, as it involves the study of concepts, conceptual systems and their labels (terms), whereas lexicography studies words and their meanings.Terminology is a discipline that systematically studies the "labelling or designating of concepts" particular to one or more subject fields or domains of human activity. It does this through the research and analysis of terms in context for the purpose of documenting and promoting consistent usage. Terminology can be limited to one or more languages (for example, "multilingual terminology" and "bilingual terminology"), or may have an interdisciplinarity focus on the use of terms in different fields.
