Résumé

Terminology plays a fundamental role in the formulation of concepts, the development of human thought, and communication across various fields. However, translating linguistic terms from foreign languages into Arabic may lead to instability within the Arabic terminological system. Therefore, the terminological multiplicity is considered one of the most controversial issues in linguistic studies and modern translation, due to the multiplicity of proposed equivalents and the diversity of terminological references. This study examines the multiplicity of Arabic equivalents in the translation of linguistic terminology by Bassem Baraké through an analysis of selected examples from "Dictionary of Linguistics" and "Larousse Encyclopedic Dictionary", in order to explore the nature of these terminological choices, identify the reasons behind such multiplicity and discuss the challenges it poses to the unification and stabilization of linguistic terminology.
