monomial, polynomial, term studies, poly-culturalism, poly-lingualism, languages for specific purposesAbstract
The analysis of the issues in term studies showcases that the scholars’ attempts to come to the unified approach to the definition of the term has not been successful yet. No longer is the academic world seen as numbers of regional scientific schools across geographies. On the contrary, globalisation has significantly affected academia and the respective product of science. The subject matter of the research links to poly-culturalism and poly-lingual communication in the contemporary world of science. It aims at the description of monomial and polynomial – proposed substitutes for set (irreversible) term expressions in languages for specific purposes when digitized. It is suggested that an interdisciplinary dialogue between linguistics in Saussure’s concept and philosophy, psychology, neuroscience, and computer science would ultimately make the world catch up with ICT in the digital era. Robotics, automation of processes are soon to absorb vast domains of specialized knowledge. As formal and logical treatment of language helps employ algebraic tools for linguistic analysis, comparative analysis between terms in terminology and an algebraic expression evidences similarities that may hardly be ignored. Thus, an algorithmic description of terminology could generate an infinite number of products from a finite number of essential elements.
