Abstract: This article analyzes and generalizes many points of view regarding terms and terminology. Different perspectives on the notion of "term" and its definitions are explored. An effort is made to develop a complete definition that is pertinent and expands upon the ones that already exist. It is demonstrated that there are reasons to approach terminology as a science that uses a combination of statistical and analytical approaches, rather than just as a collection of professional terms, a linguistic subject, or a means of instruction. It is explained how terminological methodologies relate to classical linguistics and natural science. It is claimed that when statistical and analytical procedures are applied, the natural characteristics of the studied objects—such as terminology and general linguistics—are taken into consideration. Future research directions are developed.
