CONMUSTERM – A research project

Within the Problems of basic contemporary musical terminology in Croatia (CONMUSTERM) research project, several main objectives were set in order to tackle variation in Croatian musical terminology as used on all levels of formal music education. Standardizing musical terminology within the framework of a larger national terminology standardization endeavour poses certain challenges, both in terms of terminological analysis and practical issues concerning terminology management. As with other disciplines in the humanities, de ning musical concepts must be carried out while bearing in mind the speci c notions of the domain: conceptual change over a long period of time ; the interpretation of di erent theoretical frameworks ; conceptual overlapping and terminological variation in di erent registers ; the existence of false pairs and near synonyms as the result of linguistic borrowing and adaptation from other languages, etc. This session will cover several topics that have been researched within the project, as well as present the results of a survey carried out to investigate the use of musical terminology among musicologists and other music experts. Problems in determining conceptual relations between music concepts will be discussed beginning from the conceptual level of terminological analysis. Traditional models of terminological de nitions will be questioned against several examples of de nitions in order to discuss the level of precision and detail required in them, especially concerning the de nitions of associative relations as the most noteworthy conceptual relations between music concepts. The pros and cons of de ning musical concepts in a normative terminological database will be discussed with examples from the Struna terminological database. The entry category of Note (Cro. napomena) is a particularly invaluable terminological container in which information about the diachronic changes and other special characteristics of musical concepts can be entered. CONMUSTERM is financed by the Croatian Science Foundation (HRZZ) from September 2014 until September 2018, and operates out of the Music Academy of the University of Zagreb in cooperation with researchers from the Institute of Croatian Language and Linguistics.
