This contribution is part of the reflection on the connections between language, politics and science and presents a case study on the use of the Polish name “Ziemie Odzyskane” or “ZO” (“Recovered Lands”) and its French version, “Les Territoires recouvrés,” in texts written in those languages. Its aim is to examine whether the name “ZO”, introduced into official discourse by an authoritarian regime, can gain the status of a quasi-term. The study consists of the following three parts: 1) analysis of the political marking of the name “ZO” through the prism of typical features of the Polish newspeak; 2) study of the Polish researchers’ comments about the name “ZO”; 3) preliminary analysis of a sample of French equivalents of the name “ZO” collected in scientific texts. These three steps of the analysis make it possible to understand the term-making process of the name “ZO,” as an unambiguous unit (referring to the former German territories attached to Poland after the 1945 Potsdam agreements) whose use, however, is often accompanied by metatextual markers. The researchers’ distancing from the name “ZO,” shown in the texts by inverted commas or comments, indicates that it can be treated as a quasi-term in the context of linguistic and terminological studies.
