In conclusion, we note that several disputable matters of synonymy in Azerbaijani and English languages terminology based on a rich tradition of semasiological researches as well as the relation to semasiological problems like boundary of synonym rows, polysemy, antonyms and so on. When talking about field terms in the creation of ecological science and the foundation of terms, we note that the terminological system is related to science as a whole.

In different languages, this systematization occurs at different times.
