Abstract
The growth of a scientific discipline, the discovery of new phenomena and new interrelations, leads to the development of a specialized conceptual system with an increasing degree of abstraction. The presence of non-observational terms in these disciplines is inevitable, and to deny it could cause serious consequences for science. A great number of these terms constitute the domain of theoretical terms whose applicability is related to the theory they form part of. The so-called natural sciences and social sciences cannot do without using theoretical terms.
