The dynamics of terms deals with the evolution of terminology, and terminometric analyses measure this evolution. Based on an analysis of term usage in specialized communication in the domain of nanotechnology over a period of two consecutive years, this study demonstrates that terminometrics can produce a precise description of the dynamics of terms in multicultural, bilingual or multilingual settings. The discussion also highlights how terminometric analyses of specialized texts shed light on the dynamics of terms in knowledge development

Keywords: terminometrics, knowledge development, dynamics of terminology, nanotechnology, measure of term usage, terminology implantation
