Summary/Abstract: The tight link of terminology to ontology represents a fundamental characteristic of present day terminology. The relevance of the referent, especially the extension led to a significant reconsideration of the type of denotant. In the expanding fields of contemporary science, the start is given by the existing‖object‖ which will be named in rapport with its characteristics. It is the variable that regulates the type of term and especially the typology of the terminological syntagm. The extended terminological syntagm –the general research objective – displays special dynamics in the terminology of humanistic sciences, given the fact that sign do not constantly have a concrete referent. Specific objectives: definition and characterization of the proposed concept, degree of cohesion of the extended terminological syntagm, typology are among the specific objectives. The research method is contrastive, descriptive-linguistic and analytical. The conclusion of the research is that the extended terminological syntagm is a multiword combination that contains more than three components heterogenous syntactically and under the aspect of cognitive concept designation mode.
