Abstract
Is a term merely a term, or are some terms more termish than others? This is the fundamental underlying theoretical question of the present study of the terminology of the Danish VAT act. The introduction of the concept "termhood" provides for term differentiation in terms of degree. Termhood allows us to determine whether for example “VAT exempt goods” is more termish than “taxable person” within the context of VAT legislation .

Summary
Is a term merely a term, or are some terms more termish than others? This is the fundamental underlying theoretical question of the present study of the terminology of the Danish VAT act.1 The introduction of the concept “termhood” provides for term differentiation in terms of degree. THE FIRST DIMENSION OF THE CHART represents the “termhood” of the linguistic inventory of the VAT act. Each individual word occurring in the VAT act has been allocated a termhood value according to the extent to which it may be said to be a term.
