Summary/Abstract: Derivation and composition, the principal means of lexical-semantic extension of the Romanian language, are widely used in creating scientific terminology. Although the scientific terms are not created in Romanian, the same formative patterns, from Greco-Latin origin, contribute to their formation. A proper analysis of such terms can be constructed avoiding integration into traditional patterns of derivation and composition, characteristic of a particular language, by adopting a differentiated analysis, both in the common language and the specialized language.
