2. Basic Elements of TS.
The basic elements of TS and TW are objects (of reference), concepts, the characteristics of concepts, concept relations and systems, terms and other concept presentations (definitions, LSP phrases, non-verbal representations), and the relations between concepts and terms (e.g., synonymy, polysemy, mononymy, homonymy, equivalence). As an interdisciplinary field, TS encounters certain problems when it comes to its own terms and concepts, since it has borrowed many them from various fields and adapted them to its specific needs.
