Abstract
This paper looks into the theoretical background of the study of (legal) terminology, focusing on the distinction between description and prescription in terminological studies. In an attempt to circumvent the prescriptive bias which seems so common in these studies, the author returns to the competence level, and devises a classification of transfer possibilities.
