The conference was attended by scientists from various Russian cities (Moscow, Omsk, Chelyabinsk, Khabarovsk, Samara, Kazan, Yekaterinburg, etc.), as well as from Finland, Lithuania, Poland and Ukraine. Messages are read in Russian. The conference was opened and greeted by the Deputy Director of STANDARTINFORM A. Kozlovas. A part of the plenary session was devoted to theoretical terminology issues (cognitive research method, concept of term fields, linguistic requirements of terms). There were also reports of a referral nature, which informed about the status of terminology work and the work done, problems that arise when preparing normative, translation and other bilingual or multilingual dictionaries of terms, when translating scientific and technical literature. STANDARTINFORMO representatives A. Kozlovas and E. Savilovas discussed terminology standardization in Russia. They emphasised that standardisation is a matter of state, as established by the law of 27 December 2002 and the government decree. The work of terminology standardization is coordinated and led by the Technical Committee 55 Terminology, the Committee consists of specialists from more than 30 Russian organizations involved in terminology work. The standardization of terms, according to the speakers, is a fairly effective way of standardizing the technical and scientific language. In addition, they introduced the STANDARTINFORM term base RosTerm 2 [SS] nn Terminologija | 2006 | 13 (POCCTEPM), which contains more than 140 000 term articles. It is expected that this database will be useful in preparing quality terminology standards and managing national and international terminology. One of the most important objectives of terminology standardization they mentioned is the compatibility of concepts and terms in different languages. Professor S. Griniova-Grinievičius from Białystok University spoke about the challenges of terminology. The author emphasized that it is necessary to continue to study terminology of various fields, to describe it, applying various research methods. He separately discussed the directions of terminology research (cognitive, comparative, historical, semantic and other studies), which are quite promising. He regretted that the terminology is no longer studied typologically. Scientist I. Kudashev from the University of Helsinki read a report on the difficulties of writing a descriptive translation dictionary of terminology based on the Finnish-Russian forestry dictionary. The dictionary will be designed for translators. The speaker also discussed the difference between descriptive and normative multilingual dictionaries. Professor T. Kijak of Taras Shevchenko State University of Kyiv spoke about translation of scientific and technical literature. A. Auksoriūtė and A. Šleževičius read a report on the development and current state of Lithuanian terminology. "Vilnius" (in Lithuanian). The speakers paid a lot of attention to the activities of the Terminology Centre of the Lithuanian Language Institute, introduced other institutions working on terminology in Lithuania and the term databases being created: the Term Bank of the Republic of Lithuania, the Lithuanian Language Terminology, etc. V. Novodranova, a researcher from Moscow State University of Medicine and Dentistry, read a presentation on cognitive types and cognitive research of medical terminology. The most discussed was the presentation of S. Shelov (Moscow) on term fields and concept structure in terminology. The linguist separately discussed the following fields of the term: semantic, conceptual, conceptual terminological, terminological (in the broad and narrow senses). Speaking about term fields, he presented his term base WinTERM, which is composed of various fields 226 Aušra Rimkutė | International Scientific Terminology Conference... glossaries, guides and standards, and showed how it can be used to define term fields. Interestingly, there is not a single term that does not have a semantic or conceptual term field, but not all terms have a conceptual terminology field and a terminology field. The terminological field of the term (in the narrow sense), to which the terms usually belong in dictionaries, is very narrow. Quite often terms do not have this field. After the plenary session, the work continued in two sections. In the section Theoretical aspects of terminology, most of the presentations were devoted to cognitive terminology (L. Manerko, E. Golovanova, A. Kiziukevičius and others), synonymy and ambiguity of terms (G. Ivanova, S. Oskina and others), metaphorical terms (E. Bezateeva, T. Pristaiko and others) and other issues. The next section —Practice of terminological activity, terminography and terminology teaching. It was about terminology work in Ukraine (L. Boyarova, L. Simonenko), about problems of definition of terms and preparation of terminology dictionaries (I. Vechmas-- Lechto, E. Sorokina and others). The participants talked about terminology in economics, law, computer science, advertising, maritime, beekeeping, medicine and other fields, and also mentioned the need to train qualified terminologists. The results of the two-day terminology conference were discussed by Professor V. Leičikas of the Department of General and Russian Linguistics of the Pushkin State Institute of Russian Language. According to him, the conference addressed topical issues of terminology and terminography and shared experience of terminology work. Thesis and reports of conference reports have been published. The next international conference is scheduled to be held in Moscow in spring 2007. Received 2006-11-18 P.
