The aim of this article is to systematize the existing research on the history of the development of Ukrainian and global terminology studies and terminology. It analyzes both contemporary and earlier research on the history of terminology studies and terminology. The article examines and characterizes each stage of the development of terminology studies in Ukraine: the initial or “pre-scientific” stage; the period of formation of modern terminology and scientific language; the period of its rapid development in the 1920s and the early 1930s; the period of decline marked by convergence of the Ukrainian language with Russian; the modern period. The contribution of the Ukrainian diaspora to terminology studies is also highlighted, particularly during the time when scholars in Ukraine faced restrictions in their work. Additionally, the article explores the corresponding history and periodization of the development of global terminology studies. The key stages of global terminology development are identified as follows: the initial period – from ancient times to the 17th–18th centuries; the period of terminology enrichment, with early attempts of systematization and regulation; the early modern and contemporary periods of terminology studies. The article provides a detailed analysis of the development of terminology studies in the 20th century — a formative period of terminology studies as scientific discipline. This stage is examined within both the Ukrainian and global contexts. Special emphasis is focused on the contemporary stage of terminology studies in Ukraine and globally. Particular attention is given to modern trends in terminology studies, including communicative, semiotic, and cognitive approaches, historiography, and current issues of terminology standardization and unification. The article provides detailed research of current issues in the standardization and normalization of terminology and terminography. The concepts of terminology and terminological system are investigated within the framework of contemporary linguistics. The development of specific national terminology systems is also examined, including those of Czech, Slovak, Austrian, French, Irish, Icelandic, Latvian, Lithuanian, Malay, and Israeli.
