The infrastructure needed for a manageable and systematic insight into tourism terminology has only started developing in Slovenia. (Half-)specialized manual Tourism Lexicon was published in 2012. From the linguistic point of view, there are two key products in the field, both of them created by Science and Research Centre, University of Primorska: Tourism Corpus TURK (2006-2008) and Tourism Terminology Dictionary TURS (2008-2011), which was created on the basis of term extraction from TURK. This master's degree thesis is divided into two parts. In the first part, we define the terminology science - its conceptual systems and their labels (terms), its users and rules: term characteristics in terms of both meaning and form, the differentiation between the basic items of lexicology (lexem) and terminology (term); we provide demonstration of terms in terminographic and general manuals, and analyse contemporary terminographic situation in Slovenia and around the world as well as the impact of contemporary global influences upon terminology. In the second part of this thesis, we discuss the issues of tourism lexicon from three different perspectives: corpus, dictionary and form. We devote our attention to the presentation of terms in TURS and Tourism Lexicon. Meanwhile, we highlight a frequent passage of tourism terminology to the usage in general language through the so called determinologisation. We are interested in the extent of the presence of such lexicon in various corpuses of Slovenian language and (consequently) in dictionaries of general language. Tourism lexicon is analysed from various perspectives: according to different fields of tourism it belongs to, different ways of formation, semantic changes etc.
