Да характарыстыкі пачатковага этапу выпрацоўкі беларускай навуковай тэрміналогіі ў 1920-я гады

The article deals with the specific character of the initial elaboration stage of the Belorussian scientific terminology in the 1920s. The members of the 1921 Scientific-terminological committee are listed here for the first time. A conclusion is made that the terminology of the 1920s was not created out of nowhere, but to a considerable extent rested upon the achievements of the terminological practice of the previous period. The factor that in the early 1920s publishers of Vil'nia, rather than that of Minsk had the priority to publish Belorussian-speaking educational literature left a certain mark on the terminology of the 1920s. It is symptomatic that compilers of the East-Belorussian terminologies did not accept in some cases usual international terms which were in usage in West Belorussia, but suggested neologisms, Polonisms or migratory calques instead
