In this title, Temmerman questions the validity of traditional terminology theory. Her findings are that the traditional approach impedes a description of a large number of categories and terms. Inspired by the cognitive sciences, the author develops an alternative theory. The main principles of this theory imply: a combined semasiological and onomasiological perspective, that only a few categories may be clearly delineated, form and content of definitions vary according to category types and user’s requirements, synonymmy and polysemy are functional in special language and a diachronic

This quest provides the driving force for the dynamics of terminology in which Dr Kageura demonstrates the interaction of these two factors on a specific corpus of Japanese terminology which, beyond the necessary linguistic circumstances, also has a model character for similar studies.
