Material for the Encyclopaedic Dictionary of Croatian Analytical Terminology Part I. Principles and Starting Point

V. Grdinić

Abstract

Presented in this paper are the principles and the starting point for construction of an encyclopaedic dictionary of Croatian terminology in analytical chemistry, as well as in analytics, a recent scientific field. Consequently, the choice, construction and extent of lexical units for the encyclopćdic dictionary will be determined by adequate scientific and professional criteria. Principles and methods determined and presented in this paper can aid in writing Croatian analytical dictionary and support the efforts in systemizing and encyclopaedic presentation of terms that are of particular significance for analytics. The described principles take into account terminological and linguistic demands. The paper stresses the need for revision of current and non-systemized terminology, adjustment of unavoidable internationalisms to Croatian linguistic standards, and, as analytical chemistry is a science of chemical measurements, adjustment of terminology to existing Croatian standards in metrology and other related areas.
