THEORETICAL BACKGROUND AND THE ROLE OF TERMINOLOGY IN LINGUISTICS

Abstract

Language and its structure play a fundamental role in the field of linguistics. The appropriate use of terminology is crucial for creating a unified system of communication and understanding within linguistic studies. This thesis aims to delve into the theoretical foundations that underpin terminology in linguistics, exploring its significance, impact, and application within the realm of language analysis and research. Terminology in linguistics serves as a fundamental tool for categorizing, defining, and discussing linguistic phenomena. Through a deep dive into theoretical linguistics, this study aims to unravel how terminology shapes linguistic analysis, categorization, and understanding within the diverse branches of linguistic inquiry.
