This article examines both theoretical and practical dimensions of Arabic terminology in modern linguistics, with a particular focus on standardization processes. It analyzes how Arabic terms are formed, how their meanings adapt within contemporary contexts, and how linguistic institutions contribute to unifying terminology across different Arab-speaking regions. The study highlights the role of language planning bodies, such as AIDSMO, in promoting consistency and reducing terminological variation. The findings suggest that standardization is not only a linguistic process but also a socio-political and institutional effort aimed at strengthening Arabic’s role in science, diplomacy, and modern communication.
