A Comparative Analysis of Terminology in Mathematics and Philosophy
Slovenski sinopsis
English synopsis
English summary
Mathematical terminology contains more monosemic terms. The main reason for a lower percentage of monosemic terms in philosophy is the fact that (acording to the Dictionary of the Slovene Standard Language) philosophical vocabulary frequently passes into the category labelled 'Literary''. Such shifts are particularly common in borrowings. In mathematical terminology there are fewer borrowed terms therefore also such shifts are fewer. As philosophical terms, begin to be used in other fields, they acquire labels 'Journalistic', 'Legal' and 'Linguistic', while mathematical terms mainly move into 'Physics' and 'Chemistry'.
Both in mathematics and in philosophy one-word derived terms carry the most frequent word-forming meanings, which are de-sentential transforms. This implies that body philosophy and mathematics deal with abstract realms.
Terminology should eliminate unnecessary synonyms, but synonymous expressions do exist, especially as a consequence of acceptance of parallel foreign terminology, of different word-formation patterns, and in mathematics also as a consequence of parallelism between language of symbols and language of words.
