Abstract
Terminological counselling is ad hoc terminology work that provides the terminology user with a relatively quick
and credible answer to a terminological question. In this article, we present the Terminological Counselling Service offered by
the Terminology Section of the ZRC SAZU Fran Ramovš Institute of the Slovenian Language since 2013. Through a web form, users
submit a question, which is answered by five terminologists in a joint opinion. For this article, all 75 questions received by the
Terminological Counselling Service in 2020 were examined. They were analysed in terms of the subject fields in which the users
have terminological problems, the institutions the users are affiliated with, and the content of the questions. We believe that
the Terminological Counselling Service plays an important role, as the number of users is increasing year by year.
期刊介绍:
Terminology is an independent journal with a cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary scope. It focusses on the discussion of (systematic) solutions not only of language problems encountered in translation, but also, for example, of (monolingual) problems of ambiguity, reference and developments in multidisciplinary communication. Particular attention will be given to new and developing subject areas such as knowledge representation and transfer, information technology tools, expert systems and terminological databases. Terminology encompasses terminology both in general (theory and practice) and in specialized fields (LSP), such as physics.
