Summary/Abstract: The present research taken hereby identifies the general linguistic aspects of the economic terminology and focuses on the characteristics of this terminology. The analysis of some economic terms has set its selection based on the English terms’ frequency in the texts from mass media and based on their representativeness in the conceptual hierarchy of economics. The factors that generate linguistic deviations can be, on the one hand, the level of English knowledge, the lexical preciousness or the need for the synchronization with the Western world materialized by imitation, and, on the other hand, the recent penetration and the limited circulation power of Anglicism.
