Here are some key points to remember:
- Semantic features play the same role in concept formation, recognition and evolution as lexical and morphological components play in term creation: new combinations give rise to new units of knowledge and create new designations.
- Stable links between concepts, semantic features and terms help identify and define concepts based on textual matches present in the specialized documentation.
- The concept-to-term approach of terminological research is illustrated in the single-concept requirement for the creation of terminological records. However, it may be useful to include purely linguistic information such as usage notes and phraseologisms on such records.
