drawn in the middle of the 19th century by the English scientist
William Whewell. Among the post soviet countries it was done by
G.O. Vynokur. In accordance with V.Leichyk, the nomenclature is
the intermediate link between terms and proper names. The
nomenclature includes lists of products of any enterprises, goods
of any store and etc. The nomenclature, unlike proper names, is
not related with specific concepts, but rather, like terms indicates
general concepts.
Gutiérrez Rodilla (1998, 209) explains the difference
between nomenclature and terminology: a terminology is the
complete collection of technical words belonging to a specific
branch of knowledge; a nomenclature, that has to be normalised, is
only made up of the terms of this branch of knowledge that have
been approved by a community of scientists, in accordance with
pre-established rules that determine the relation that must exist
between the words and their meanings. Consequently, a
terminology is much wider than a normalised nomenclature, since
this is only a part of a terminology.
A nomenclature comes up in an activity aimed at the
observation and description of a great number of natural processes,
as well as the manufacturing of a wide variety of objects, all of
them hierarchically and systematically classified. It becomes
necessary to assign a name to each phenomenon or object, not
arbitrarily but in a way that allows the denominations to show the
criteria used to classify the objects to be named. This is why the
systematisation to sort the processes and objects needs a parallel
systematisation for the formation of the names. So, the system to
generate names is different to the systems of other nomenclatures,
because the criteria used to sort them are different between
activities. To summarise, the objects are first classified and then
the nomenclature derived from this classification is established.
J. Sager explains that the taxonomic sciences generate names
creating an artificial language with the mechanisms of a language
to generate words. The restricted use of the language in a
