specialized words for a subject
All the special words that people use in one subject, job, or area of study.
Μοτίβο χρήσης:
the terminology of [a field]
Συχνό λάθος:
Learners sometimes treat terminology as a countable noun and say things like 'many terminologies'. In this sense it is usually uncountable: say 'specialized terminology' or 'a lot of legal terminology', not 'many terminologies'. Another confusion is mixing up terminology with technology; terminology refers to words, not machines or tools.

The exact words that someone chooses to talk about or describe something.
Μοτίβο χρήσης:
the terminology used in [something]
Συχνό λάθος:
Learners may not see the difference between terminology and simple words like words or language. Terminology here focuses on the exact choice of words, often in formal writing. Also, do not say 'a terminology' when you mean 'a term'; a single word or phrase is a term, not 'a terminology'.
Συνώνυμα
wording (Very close in meaning; more general and slightly less formal.)
|
phraseology (More formal; emphasizes style and typical ways of saying things.)
