The definition provided is very much a definition of an SADL rather than an ADL in general. In other words, Software-Architecture Description Language. There are also languages for the description of Enterprise Architecture, which are clearly also ADL's: ArchiMate, MEMO, DEMO, etc. These languages do not necessarily refer to software components, etc. Nevertheless, they are ADL's.

Architecture vs. design

Quoting from this section:

..whereas design is a principle through which functional requirements are accomplished.

Design is a principle? It is an activity or the result of this activity. But "a principle"? I never encountered the word design with this sense nor dictionaries report it. Can some native English speaker shed some light?
