They examine the subject from the point of view of philosophy which is essential for a theory of terminology seeking to establish the relationship between concepts and terms. These essays deal mainly with theoretical issues but they also consider the practice of defining and therefore serve as background to all manner of studies in terminology. In addition they form a useful complement to the better known discussions of definitions in lexicography.Terminology and lexicography research and practice ;v. 4.Definition (Philosophy)Terms and phrasesLexicographyDefinition (Philosophy)Terms and phrases.Lexicography.160Sager Juan C.authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut530552Sager Juan C530552MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910968127703321Essays on definition4347544UNINA
