Terminologie et nomenclatures scientifiques : l'exemple de la taxonomie zoologique

Simon Tillier : Terminologie et nomenclatures scientifiques : l'exemple de la taxonomie zoologique. What is at stake in this paper is the implication of terminology in the field of taxonomy. The taxonomist has to identify, describe and designate the objects coming under his observation. Thus, he has to observe the way nouns correspond to objects in the world. Taxonomists have different ways to classify those objects, as regarding their evolution and historical development. The investigation is here pinpointed in the domain of zoology.
