| description | ABSTRACT
Purpose: The term bibliometrics (slv. bibliometrija) and the related derived and compound terms have emerged frequently in Slovenian scientific and technical texts in the last decade only. Considerable inconsistency in the usage of these terms and their synonyms is evident.
Methodology/approach: Excerption of these texts has shown different patterns of usage, thus the aim of the paper is to analyse it and compare the frequency of occurence of individual terms in various authorative sources.
Results: Taking into consideration the usage of the chosen terms in scientific and technical texts, general text corpus of Slovenian texts, authorative and informative dictionaries the Commision on Library Terminology has given priority to the terms (slv.) bibliometrija and (slv.) bibliometričen, subordinating the use of the synonyms (slv.) bibliometrika and (slv.) bibliometrijski.
Research limitation: There is a relatively small sample of Slovenian scientific texts available containing the terms dealt with in this paper, and the two general text corpora have included only a limited number of relevant texts. As a rule, the authorative dictionaries and linguistic manuals do not include the terms studied. Future research in this field will be enabled and facilitated by a specialized text corpus of Slovenian LIS texts.
Originality/practical implications: The first research of the kind to codify the Slovenian library terminology aiming at a chosen subject field. |
