A TERMINOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE ON MENTAL PROCESSES IN PSYCHOLOGY
A TERMINOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE ON MENTAL PROCESSES IN PSYCHOLOGY

Summary/Abstract: Considering the mental processes in psychology and the various types of texts (and contexts) which use terms like sensations and perceptions, there are certain inconsistencies which I am willing to look into. On the one hand, there are linguists as specialists who create definitions on a regular basis. They are supposed to research the words/terms thoroughly before actually generating the definition as a standard of meaning and use. On the other hand, there are psychologists as the main scientific source of knowledge. There is also a third possible category, namely terminology users who decode the meaning. The main question is: which specialists are dealing with words and which ones with terms as part of their linguistic choice and use?
