Thesis proposes flexible definitions to capture contextual meaning

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.
