  • Description: The officializing of eleven languages in South Africa has resulted in the ever increasing need for the development, the elaboration & the management of terminology as well as the distribution of terminological information in all of these languages. This article reviews three terminological working methods at present successfully used in terminology planning, terminology coordination & terminology management. It was established through the research that terminology management is dealt with differently in different environments, administered by different people & results in different products. The aims with the collection & dissemination of terminology thus have a very important influence on the working method used for terminology management within a specific environment. The three working methods are known as the linguistically oriented working method, the translation oriented working method & the language planning oriented working method. The implications of the different working methods within the South African situation are evaluated to establish which one will at present provide the best option for terminology development & terminology management in South Africa.
