Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of the development of Macedonian terminology after the codification of the Macedonian language and the initial efforts for drafting specialised terminology. It sheds light on the participation of Macedonian linguists in collaborative terminology projects in the former Yugoslavia and the International Committee of Slavists. It elaborates on the importance of the Dictionary of Macedonian Language, which laid the groundwork for future lexicographic and terminographic projects. The chapter provides a detailed overview of the theoretical foundations of the Macedonian Scientific and Professional Terminology project which led to the publication of draft terminology in terminological bulletins and terminological dictionaries. Blazhe Koneski is the most significant scholar who contributed both theoretically and practically to the development of Macedonian terminology.
