Brief

A new paper proposes a human-centered approach to integrating generative AI into terminology work, emphasizing that AI should augment, not replace, human terminologists. The authors argue that while AI can automate certain tasks, its unreliability necessitates human oversight for accuracy and bias management. This framework aims to enhance terminologists' capabilities and decision-making authority, ensuring AI supports specialized communication and knowledge transmission. AI

This doctoral thesis explores how contextual variations influence specialized environmental concepts, proposing a "flexible terminological definition" approach. It suggests that definitions should reflect context, moving beyond traditional decontextualized meanings. The research identifies three phenomena of domain-dependent contextual variation: modulation, perspectivization, and subconceptualization, and provides guidelines for constructing flexible definitions.
