Course of Postgraduate Studies: Foundations of Terminology

<p style="text-align: justify;">
 The <strong>Course of Postgraduate Studies: Foundations of Terminology</strong> aims to introduce basic information about the meaning of Terminology as a field of study and in practice, as well as its basics and main strategies. The first unit covered is the context for studying terms (specialised communication), and where the terms can be found, in either oral or written specialised texts. The second unit covers the units terms use to share the representation and communication of specialised knowledge (SKU). The third unit focuses on the central component of terminology, terms, also known as terminological units. The fourth unit is dedicated to presenting the applied side of terminology (terminography), with a particular focus on the process of creating systematic terminology. Finally, unites five and six give an overview of terminology as a whole. Unit five deals with terminology as a field of study, the relationship it has with lexicology, its functions and users, and relevant theoretical models. Unit six deals with the origin and evolution of terminology, and its socio-professional diversification.</p>
