Analysis of Terminology in the Stereoscopic Cinematography
Олег Николаевич Раев · Observatory of Culture · 2016
In the modern Russian language, there is a syno nymy of the two terms in the area of stereoscopic cinema: “stereo” and “3D”. The evolutionary analysis of the terms shows that the synonymy appeared because the Russian fi lm industry and cinematic science and engineering had been destructed in 1990s and 2000s, and imported technologies and equipment solely seized the modern domestic fi lm indus try. The pragmatic analysis of the terms reveals no signifi cant advantages of either of the terms. The semantic ana lysis of the terms enables to recommend the film industry to use preferably the term “stereo” for it is correctly oriented and has the highest possible accuracy, while leaving the term “3D” only for commercial and advertising use.
