Neologism - Technography
This is one of the other category of neologisms I have come across – words that have been coined by someone I know, but which have not yet necessarily achieved any wider usage. This term was created by a colleague in Liberal Studies, whose specialist area is the history of science, and his intention is that it should mean the study of technological developments in both an chronoligical and locational context (as opposed to purely chornologically as is more common)

ReplyDeleteSo technography covers both time and place? Wouldn’t have guessed it. What’s the logic?
ReplyDeleteI agree that the logic isn't apparent. I think his point was he was already working in the context of historical research, and so in that context his term adds the locational element. Not saying I agree with him!
