Abstract

The article presents the results of research on speech therapy terminology. The analysis covered 33 terms, the frequency of which was assessed as low. The main research questions were: “Are the selected speech therapy terms familiar to: a. speech therapy students, b. speech therapists-practioners?”. “Have a. students, b. therapists been acquainted with dictionary definitions of selected speech therapy terms?”. To answer the research questions, a survey was conducted. It included questions about the knowledge and understanding of the terms. The results suggest the need for a more detailed description of speech therapy terminology due to not only the varying levels of its familiarity, but also its timeliness and pervasiveness.
