| Nessie, are you familiar with both the uncountable and countable sense of "vocabulary"? It's the same general situation. |

Hi Nessie,
You can say 'a terminology' in the same way that you can say 'a definition' or 'a description'. What's the problem? Agreed 'terminology' is a bundle of special words but then you can also have different types of terminology, can't you.

Thank you very much, Alan :)
I just have one more question for this: when we say "a terminology", does it mean the same as "a term"?

Hi Nessie,
A single term is part of the whole terminology. In football terminology, for example, a 'utility player' is a term used to describe a versatile player who can play almost any position. More terms of football terminology include 'offside', 'winger', 'diver', 'stoppage time', 'the box' etc

Thanks a lot, Ralf :)
So when we say "a terminology", we refer to a set of terms in a particular subject?
