Terminology Science in Russia today - From the Past to the Future

The study of terminology has always occupied a unique place in the field of specialized language research. Its object, the terminology of various domains, encompasses more than just the descriptive linguistic level of lexicology and its application, specialized lexicography. Morphology, syntax and the textual level, as well as the role of culture in communication, are all fields in which terminology has its specific functions and potential. In the history of the discipline, several centers for the research and instruction of terminology emerged. However, the study of terminology in Russia has been largely overlooked by its European neighbors. The time has come to offer an in-depth look into the research being performed and to demonstrate the vitality of the current research landscape. Today's terminology research in Russia makes a lasting, balanced impression in this diverse and wideranging volume, which presents many ideas for further research.
