Summary/Abstract: According to T. Kuhn, a research paradigm is viewed as a model study taking into account a body of homogeneous, compatible and coherent assumptions of a conceptual/terminological, methodological, and philosophical nature. A research paradigm is indispensable for theory construction. From among theories based on syntactic analysis, semantics-based syntax and construction grammar were selected for the purpose of this study. It was demonstrated how methodological assumptions can lead to the construction of terminology, that is a network of interconnected terms. Taking into consideration the traditional terms along with their new meanings and the new terminology used in construction grammar, the focus was on the term construction.
