This article is a comparative study of their definitions, conductedin the process of establishing benchmarks in the study of editorial-printing terminology.It presents a research of the theoretical foundations of terminology, a study of variousinterpretations of linguistic meanings of key notions of terminology: „notion”, „concept”and „term”. One of the fundamental units of terminology is the „notion”, which ischaracterized as an abstract object of knowledge. Another fundamental unit, the „concept”,represents classes of objects of knowledge, of perceptible phenomena. Concepts arecalled abstractions, mental constructions or units of thought that ensure the connectionbetween objects and their definitions. They have an essential role in human knowledge,communication not being possible if we do not have a codification of concepts in linguisticsigns (terms). The concepts ensure the connection between the objects and the designationsthat correspond to them. And the „term” is the material form, expressed through linguisticmeans, of a notion specialized in a certain field of knowledge.
