Two other controversial problems in the field of terminology are 
polysemy 
and 
synonymy
of terminological units.
There are linguists in whose opinion 
an “ideal” term should be 
monosemantic (i.e. it should have only one meaning). Polysemantic 
terms may cause misunderstanding, and that is a serious problem in 
professional communication, as well as in translation of special

discourse. On the one hand, this requirement seems quite reasonable. 
On the other hand, facts of the language do not meet it. Different 
terminological systems abound in polysemantic terms. The adequacy of 
their translation is wholly dependent on the context. In the terminology of 
construction, the term 
building
may denote 
a structure made of a strong 
material such as stone or wood that has a roof and walls 
(“
здание‖, 
―строение
”) and, at the same time, 
the process of building houses, 
factories, office buildings
(“
строительство
”).
Another controversial problem of terminology concerns synonyms. As 
far as some linguists are concerned, terms should not have synonyms 
because, consequently, scientists and other specialists would name the 
same objects and phenomena in their field by different terms and it 
would not be possible to come to any agreement. Nevertheless, there 
are many terms in different spheres, which do possess synonyms. For 
instance,
