Terminologia (antropocentryczna) – jej przedmiot badań i zadania poznawcze

Many misunderstandings about what terminology does and what its cognitive tasks are, are a con-sequence of insufficiently precise treatment of the terms “term” and “terminology”, and, conse-quently, incorrectly delineating the subject of study and cognitive tasks of terminology. The pur-pose of the considerations presented here is to try to organize these issues based on the main as-sumptions of anthropocentric linguistics (see F. Grucza 2012, S. Grucza 2013a, 2013b, 2017). In the first part of the paper a proposal to clarify the meaning of the term “term” will be presented, i.e. an attempt to answer the question about the ontological status of referred by the term “term”. In the second part a proposal to clarify the meaning of the term 'terminology will be given, and in the third part a proposal of general description of the subject of the study and in the fourth part proposal of s description of cognitive tasks of terminology.
