GB/T 14487《茶叶感官审评术语》是我国目前采用穷尽法建立的内容丰富、具有代表性的食品感官术语集,对茶叶感官术语进行了规范化的整理与分类。它遵循感官术语的形成规律,是茶叶感官属性的客观表征,具有鲜明的中国传统语言特色。文章从语言学角度提出了茶叶感官术语“基元语素”概念。GB/T 14487中包括名词、副词、形容词、动词4种类型的基元语素,基元语素构成的术语称为单词（字）型术语,大多数组合术语都是这4种基元语素的排列组合,并可划分为8种不同类型。从术语学角度看,目前茶叶感官审评术语还有部分条目尚需完善。

The standard (GB/T 14487 terms of tea sensory tests) established by exhaustive method is the abundant and representative sensory term set in food science. Tea sensory terminology was standardized and classified according to the formation rules of sensory terms.

The concept of ‘primitive morpheme’ of tea sensory terminology was put forward with a linguistics perspective. In GB/T 14487, four types of ‘primitive morpheme’ are included, which are nouns, adverbs, adjectives and verbs.
