Abstract
Polysemy is a central topic in linguistics, yet its role within the field of terminology remains relatively new. In this context, it is worth noting that discourses about polysemy in terminology studies are not homogeneous, which can prevent understanding. This study revisits the phenomenon of polysemy in light of the dual conceptual and linguistic dimensions of terminology (COSTA 2013, SANTOS & COSTA 2015, ISO 1087 2019, ISO 704 2022). We propose a modelling of the polysemy phenomenon, developed based on two French examples and designed according to the data representation standards promoted by ISO TC/37 SC 3.
