Abstract:
Between national and international trends of terms: formation of Ukrainian astro- nomical terminology in late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Ukrainian scienfific astronomical terminology has been rapidly evolving in the late XIX and early XX century due to the publication of scholarly works on astronomy in Ukrainian. During this period, the de- velopment of astronomical terminology system, as well as other subsystems of the scientific language was not a normal, natural way of challenging conditions of stateless Ukrainian nation. In the article the author discusses the influence of lin

Abstract:
This text addresses the Polish scientifi c terminology of astronomy. This subject is relatively rarely discussed in the linguistic literature. The authors handle the divisions of astronomical terms by specifi c criteria, the process of coining the Polish astronomical terminology, and tendencies noticeable in its formation over time. They also deal with the old astronomical vocabulary, which has survived to date and is used as the basisfor modern terms. Furthermore, they analyse awareness of the language and terminology among astronomers in the past and in the present. Finally, they discuss the

Abstract:
The article examines modern Chinese astronomical terminology in light of the thesis regarding the contradiction between the universality/objectivity of the scientific worldview (SW) and the subjectivity of the linguistic worldviews (LW) of individual ethnic groups that describe the SW. It is shown that Chinese astronomy contains a number of terms rooted in traditional natural philosophy and cultural foundations. Among the borrowed terms, examples are identified where Western concepts were translated either based on the denotative meaning or on the denotative’s visual appearance, relying on ima

The article deals with systematic study of zoonyms that have significant word-formation and semantic potential and occupy a special place in the terminology system, including astronomical terminology in the Russian language. The astronomical terms representing the macrosphere “zoonyms” are analyzed; the history of their origin and connection with the culture and worldview of the people is traced. The word-formation and semantic potential of zoonyms, general patterns and features of their use as part of astronomical terms reflecting historical, mythological and cultural aspects are

Astronomy is one of the oldest, but also most modern sciences of humankind. Although Hungarian astronomers have been displaying a high level of competence in this branch of science for centuries, neither a general onomastic survey nor an official astronomical orthographic dictionary has been published in Hungarian. This paper intends to enumerate the most characteristic name types given to important celestial bodies (planets and their satellites, planetoids, stars and their constellations, comets, etc.) on the basis of popular astronomical works.

Abstract:
While today the term ‘galaxy’ is a household word primarily associated with the huge congregations of stars far outside the Milky Way, until about 1950 these structures were generally known as ‘nebulae’. Although the singular form ‘galaxy’ was commonly used, it was typically considered as just another word for the Milky Way. Edwin Hubble’s celebrated discovery in the 1920s of the extragalactic nature of the spirals was for a long time referred to as the discovery of ‘extragalactic nebulae’, whereas the plural term ‘galaxies’ was only employed by a minority of astronomers.

Knowledge of Vedic time reckoning was preserved in the Ṛk- and Yajurveda recensions of the Jyotiṣavedāṅga. Most of the verses of the two treatises convey the same meaning and provide a lecture on the measurement of time and its division. Some basic mathematical operations are also applied in order to calculate specific data important for the performance of Vedic ritual. This paper discusses some of the stanzas and examines the terminology applied for the sake of time reckoning.

AbstractChildren in elementary and middle school learn fundamental concepts of science in their local language. There seems to be some discrepancies between what they learn in school and up-to-date terminologies because academic terminologies are usually updated and shared only in English by each specific academic society. We introduce the online dictionary called as “The Internet Encyclopedia of Astronomy” compiled and provided by the Astronomical Society of Japan as an efficient solution for such terminology problem.

The relevance of this study is preconditioned by the appeal to the problem of the development of the term semantics on the example of synonymy in the framework of modern terminology of art history. The article is focused on three synonymous units astronomical art, cosmic art, space art. They arouse interest as, on the one hand, these units claim the status of art history terms, and on the other hand, they are in synonymous relations, which contradicts the requirements for the term system.

Abstract In August 1573 Scaliger set out to edit the Saturnalia of Macrobius, the Noctes Atticae of Aulus Gellius, and the De die natali of Censorinus. These three texts differed considerably in content and form. But they summarized the researches of late Republican and Augustan scholars on the technical terminology, early history, and astronomical basis of the Roman calendar. Censorinus and Macrobius sketched the development of the calendar from its crudest, early form and compared it with what they called the ‘Greek’—i.e. Attic—lunar calendar on which Numa modelled his own.
