Summary/Abstract: This study deals with linguistic terms in Slovak, Czech and Polish languages. It describes and confronts linguistic terms as terminologically motivated units from the point of view of syntactic motivation. Based on the theory of lexical motivation it points out also a cooperation of the terminological and syntactic motivation. The issue description as well as conclusions are built upon the research of an extensive material basis of Slovník slovanské lingvistické terminologie 1, 2 (Jedlička (ed.) 1977, 1979) and on more recent sources. The study points out the proportion, distribution and competition of one-word and multi-word (syntactically motivated) terms in linguistics, as well as interlingual correspondences and differences, when naming identical denotates is concerned. Furthermore, construction types of multi-word linguistic terms have been identified in Slovak, Czech and Polish languages. The paper finally pays attention to the most frequent construction types, as well as to interlingual correspondences and differences appearing in construction classification.
