This paper presents the results of a study involving experts from two domains—control engineering and teaching the visually impaired—that read specialized texts in their respective disciplines and underlined terms. We were interested in the degree of consensus on underlined units in the two groups. It was very similar (84% and 85%, respectively) when the criterion for terminology was the consensus of more than twothirds of the experts, and 67% and 68% when the criterion was the consensus of more than three-quarters of the experts. The results indicate that experts perceive terms as mostly stable units. The paper also discusses cases of linguistic units that the experts were unable to agree on.
