A Piece of Historical Terminology: The Botanical Lexicon among Science, Linguistics, and Lexicography

From a historical approach, this paper studies the different ways of dealing with the terminology used by botanists, both from linguistic & scientific perspectives. For naturalists, this terminology is one of their most important work instruments, whereas for language specialists & philologists it is the way to study some aspects of language. A study that combines both perspectives would be the best method in order to obtain better results than those which have been obtained during the last century. Also, this approach proves that pragmatics & sociolinguistics have an important role in terminology works. References. Adapted from the source document
