Abstract

Over the past decade, terminology theory has been the subject of discussion in various circles. This article investigates some of the reasons why this topic has been receiving so much attention recently. First, I will discuss Wüster's theory and analyze the motivations behind his model. Next, I will explain why the Wüsterian theory has not been questioned or confronted for so long. This will allow us to understand why so many critical voices have emerged in recent times, both inside and outside of traditional perspectives. I will also note the reception these new ideas have received in the circles of terminology. Finally, I will present my own definition of a theory of terminology by examining important issues, such as what points such a theory should take into consideration and what I have to offer for this discussion.
