Abstract
After the presentation of the issues concerning lexicon in specialised languages and the definition of the properties of terminological entities by illustrating them with an example, we will move on to a test submitted to a sample of students and aimed at highlighting metaterminological notions. These aspects will enable us to put into perspective the 2023- 2027 large-scale project on InclusiveHumanities of the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures at the University of Verona, which we present in the final part of this article, focusing in particular on two aspects: 1. the constitution of a corpus and the extraction of metaterminological notions; 2. the ordering – or better, several orderings according to the needs of different types of learners – of metaterminological notions in a progression intended for students of L2 French at university level (LEA course, international business section).
