ЛИНГВИСТИЧНИТЕ ТЕРМИНИ КАТО ЧАСТ ОТ ПОНЯТИЙНИЯ АПАРАТ НА СЪВРЕМЕННАТА БЪЛГАРСКА ЛОГОПЕДИЧНА НАУКА

Abstract

The article raises the problem of specialized terminology used in the Bulgarian logopaedic literature, which includes in its conceptual apparatus terms from different sciences or separate branches of scientific knowledge. In the process of gradually separating logopaedics as an independent science with its own object and subject of research, different schools emerge, each using its own conceptual apparatus. As a result, many of the logopaedic terms used to define and interpret communicative disorders do not have generally accepted interpretations. On the one hand, many of the concepts are used ambiguously, sometimes even in the works of the same author. On the other hand, another common occurrence is using different terms to denote identical concepts. Along with polysemy and synonymy, an important problem is also the indeterminacy of many of the existing concepts. All this inevitably leads to difficulties in trying to define and classify logopaedic concepts and makes it extremely difficult to build a unified and coherent terminological system to reflect unambiguously not only the essence of the phenomena themselves, but also the relationships and connections between them. The present article draws attention specifically to the linguistic terminology as part of the specialized terminological apparatus used to determine, describe and differentiate communicative disorders. Although linguistic terms in logopaedics are perhaps among the most uncontroversial, they have their specificity in the context of defining and interpreting speech disorders and their therapy.
