Summary/Abstract: The article addresses the problem of terminological heterogeneity and conceptual ambiguity in the description of fixed word combinations in Romanian linguistics, with particular emphasis on the notion of the analytical equivalent of the word. The methodological premise of the study is the understanding of a term not as a conventional label, but as a form of existence and a means of shaping a scientific concept. From this perspective, the need for a rigorous, motivated, and systematic approach to terminological choice is substantiated.The paper offers a critical analysis of a wide range of terms used to denote fixed linguistic units (locuţiune, expresie, frazeologism, echivalent analitic, etc.), revealing semantic overlap, inconsistency of usage, and the mixing of different levels of linguistic analysis. It is shown that the term “analytical equivalent of the word” is often employed in an overly broad sense, encompassing heterogeneous phenomena–from phraseological units and periphrases to proverbs and fixed predicative constructions–thus leading to the blurring of conceptual boundaries. Particular attention is paid to the uncritical borrowing of terms from the works of classical scholars and to the tendency to avoid precise terminological qualification of the units under investigation. In conclusion, the article argues for the necessity of systematizing the terminological apparatus and reconsidering the relationship between analytical equivalents of lexemes and phraseological units on the basis of linguistic data and a typological approach.
