Summary/Abstract: Specialist terminology analysis in linguistic research to date has generally focused on unitary specialist terms or on entire specialist vocabularies or complete terminologies. What this research has disregarded is an important aspect of specialist vocabulary: the issue of how terminologies are constituted textually or how specialist vocabularies are deployed in specialist texts. My considerations are illustrated with examples from texts by law researchers from the 19th century German Historical School of Jurisprudence.
