Hi all,

first of all, apologies if this posting does not exactly match the
subject of the discussion group. I was a bit clueless as to which
group to post this question to.

I am looking for information (books, etc) on the subject of "creating
a vocabulary on something on which no vocabulary as of yet exists".
With "something" I am here referring to e.g. a new technology,
process, or a set of ideas in the mind which cannot be unambiguously
described with a currently existing vocabulary.

In other words, this is about the creation of a vocabulary for
communication of new ideas in a natural language.

I am mainly interested of a conceptual framework or a set of best
practices for the process of developing a vocabulary, if anything like
that exists. Alternatively, documentation on the history and/or
problems encountered when attempting to communicate new ideas would be
useful.

Any direction in this would be appreciated.

thanks in advance,

JJ
