Discussions on Chemistry Terminology in the Journal Chemistry Archive

U uvodnom dijelu rada prikazan je ukratko razvoj hrvatskoga kemijskoga nazivlja, što se naročito počelo poticati u drugoj polovici 19. stoljeća u skladu s ciljevima hrvatskoga narodnog preporoda i s razvojem prirodnih znanosti. Prikazane rasprave o kemijskom nazivlju i imenima spojeva u razdoblju 1927–1953. pokazuju kako u tom razdoblju unatoč dugogodišnjim nastojanjima nije postignuta suglasnost. Pred hrvatskim je kemičarima zadaća da u suradnji s hrvatskim jezikoslovcima izrade vlastiti strukovni jezik.The introductory part of the paper presents a brief outline of the development of the Croatian chemistry terminology, which was particularly encouraged in the second half of the 19th century, in accordance with the objectives of the Croatian National Revival and the development of natural sciences. The discussions on chemistry terminology and the classification of compounds (nomenclature) in the period 1927-1953 show that despite years long efforts, no agreement was reached in that period. The Croatian chemists, working together with the Croatian linguists, have before them the task of formulating their own register
