Abstract: An abstract science through concepts, hermetic and language needs to be understood by the more or less informed receiver. It is a cognitive process that can only be done interdisciplinary, through strategies of a linguistic and pragmatic nature. It is the assertion from which we start in our research. In our scientific approach we aim to research the relationship between linguistics and terminology, through descriptive-linguistic, cognitive and functional research of language functions – at the level of specialized discourse. The overall objective of the study is to highlight the interdisciplinary character of terminology, as well as the role of linguistics in ensuring coherence, accessibility and relevance of the message. Starting from the specification of language functions in communication – theorized by R. Jakobson – we aim to identify some of the ways to achieve these functions in medical discourse: the informative level is under the referential function, the illustrative level of demonstrations, graphic representations, cumulative constructions, appositives, etc. is under the sign of the phatic function, the use of quotation marks, markings in italics, etc. are located under the sign of the metalinguistic function. There are elements that help adapt information to the receiver's level of understanding – in general. The general conclusion that emerges is that terminology is an innovative science whose didactic strategies are closely related to the functions of language, language sciences, linguistics, logic, etc.
