Abstract
The intensive use of terms of a specific terminology is admittedly one of the most distinguishing features of scientific and technical (sci-tech) texts. We propose to categorize the terms as either dictionary units of generally accepted terminology or new terms introduced into a sci-tech text to facilitate the description of new author's concepts; we call such terms author's. The paper discusses issues concerned with author's terms, including frequent ways of their definition and using in sci-tech texts. It is argued that recognition of author's sci-tech terms are important for NLP applications such as computeraided scientific and literary editing, automatic text abstracting and summarization, or acquiring of expert knowledge. A sketch of the procedure for recognition of author's terms with certain degree of accuracy is given.
