  1. The Work with Terms in Scientific Research Structure of Course • Terms as means of mental work • 2. Functions of terms and purposes of term formation • Types of terms • Types of definitions • Classifications

  2. If the terms are not right, then the words are not right, then the works not arise. So make sure in the words everything is ok. Lao Tse (300 B.C.) Chinese Philosopher

  3. Scientific Terms – The Semantic Triangle subject chooses depend from interests and purposes uses means sign, symbol word complex of characteristics reflects things, characteristics and relations names object

  4. A Term is a complex of characteristics of particular objects in relationship with a word or sign. Content of terms: complex of characteristics Extent of term: set of objects The higher the content of a term, the smaller is its extent.  Content and extent of a term are reciprocally proportional.

  5. Functions of terms -> function of acquisition -> function of processing -> function of orderliness -> function of exchange

  6. Function of acquisition Making of statements logical subject ------------- logical predicate about this expression this expression makes the a statement is made statement about the logical subject

  7. Function of Orderliness personality traits cognitive personality traits affective personality traits psycho-motor personality traits cognitive abilities skills attitudes interests knowlege

  8. Function of Orderliness soups clear soup broth vegetable soup flour soup sweet soup national soup

  9. Function of exchange message sender receiver coding decoding • problem of different coding • problem of different interpretation

  10. Purposes of term formation Purpose of communication Purpose of cognition function of exchange function of acquisition Function of orderliness Function of processing

  11. Analogy between means of mental work and tools of craft Conclusions for the work with scientific terms Tools of craft • must be used appropriately • „the right tool for the right purpose“ the right theory for the right purpose and the right terms for the right purpose - must be sharp / in a good condition terms must be clearly defined - must be properly sorted the systematic of the terms must be without contradictions

  12. Types of Terms Aspects of classification Types of terms workaday term or scientific term kind of accruement term of image or term of connection type of merit property term or relationship term number of positions zero term or single term or general term number of elements

  13. Types of Terms Aspects of classification Types of terms metalinguistic term or objectlinguistic term semantic reference level concrete term or abstract term abstraction level classificatory term or intensity term capability of differentiation

  14. Terms of image and terms of connection Making of statements logical subject ------------- logical predicate about this expression this expression makes the a statement is made statement about the logical subject

  15. Scientific Terms – The Semantic Triangle subject chooses depend from interests and purposes uses means sign, symbol word complex of characteristics reflects things, characteristics and relations names object

  16. An inhabitant of crete affirms, all cretan lie. Is the statement tue or not true?
