| Summary: | Modern linguistics equally uses notion and term definitions. Very often even scientists do not differentiate these phenomena using them as synonyms. Moreover, even dictionaries treat them as synonyms. The authors of the article try to distinguish these entities. According to the pioneer paper of A.M.

The duality of these entities brings them into constant dynamics where knowledge may develop from the notion to the term as well as from the term to the notion. |
