Concepts as Reflection of Societal Changes

Summary/Abstract: Let us firstly recall the standardized definitions of the object and the concept. ISO 1087–1:2000 defines these two concepts as follows: Object: anything perceivable or conceivable. Note: Objects may be material (e.g. an engine, a sheet of paper, a diamond), immaterial (e.g. conversion ratio, a project plan) or imagined (e.g. a unicorn). Concept: unit of knowledge created by a unique combination of characteristics. Note: Concepts are not necessarily bound to particular languages. They are, however, often influenced by the social or cultural background which often leads to different categorizations. Both definitions are not wrong, but rather knowledge sparse. Obviously, a more detailed reflection on both concepts seems to be indispensable for further progress in the theory of terminology.
