Terms are items in language that represent concepts. This relation of representation does not change through use. As such, terms have a unique status in language, second only to proper names. Due to this, clarifying the identity of concepts represented by terms becomes an important issue at the level of what is represented, and control of terms representing the same concept also becomes an important issue at the level of representation. These problems with which terminologists are concerned, though not clear at first glance, are in fact relevant to general words and vocabulary to a lesser extent.In this paper I first clarify theoretical issues of terms and terminologies and what they imply for terminology processing in particular and lexical and lexicological processing in general. I then pick up some terminological applications, examine their status and suggest a few issues that can be addressed in terminology processing.
