Abstract
The paper discusses the ongoing project of creating an interdisciplinary comparative dictionary of linguistic and logical terms. The dictionary includes overlapping terms used in both disciplines. The aim of the comparison consists in analyzing differences in understanding and use of the overlapping terms of linguistics and logic, and in revealing differential and integral features expressing these differences. The proposed dictionary is primarily intended for supporting interdisciplinary communication. A number of methodological issues and their solutions for this pair of scientific disciplines are discussed (defining the domains of knowledge taken into account, requirements for the metalanguage of description). As an example, the analysis of the term predicate—one of the basic terms of linguistics and logic—is presented. Six groups of differential features have been revealed and described; the tradition of the use of the term logic in linguistics and the influence of this tradition on understanding the possibilities of a predicate are considered.
