It has been said, that any social science is lost if it doesn't conceptualize their own worldview with distinct terminologies. Scholars and authors coin new terms to explain new phenomena, or further explain older theories. They describe the terminology and its instances.
It happens for the sake of advancement of science. Social scientists often, first define the concept, then discuss its scope and different dimensions. The first long introduction to their coinage, is followed with deliberations, and it further explains the subject matter they try to address. Then they apply the theory in several examples to do a sort of praxis. Many scholars can base many years of their work in developing variants of their original findings.
This is true in all social sciences, including anthropology, sociology, linguistics, political science, history, and economics.
