This terminological research into the conceptual microfield of classic fortified wines (madeira, port, sherry) was informed both by the framework and the main tenets of the Polish (or Varsovian) School of Terminology (see inter alia Mazur, 1961;Nowicki, 1979;Nowicki, 1986;Grucza, [1991] 2017; Lukszyn and Zmarzer, 2001;Lukszyn, 2005;Grucza, 2017: 238-40;Łukasik, 2017;Małachowicz, 2017;Pawłowski, 2017;Nagórka & Pawłowski, 2018;Grucza, 2019) and by theoretical achievements in the scope of information science (Dahlberg, 1978;Leski, 1978;Dahlberg, 1992;Hjørland, 2002;Zeng, 2008;Gilchrist, [2009Gilchrist, [ ] 2018Hjørland, 2009;Hjørland, 2011;Dahlberg, 2011;Hjørland, 2015;Zeng, 2019). These disciplines seem to agree on realist views of concepts (Mammen, 1994;Mammen, 2008;Hjørland, 2009;Pawłowski, 2021: 97), where concepts are understood as socially negotiated units of knowledge, identifiable by studying discourse communities rather than individuals or aprioristic principles (see Hjørland, 2009Hjørland, : 1530.…”
