From the end of 20th century to present, the European Union expanded eastwardly several times, which made modern Europe more and more integrated into a whole in its economical, scientific and political aspects. This status makes the profound coop-eration among different countries possible, and also forces European scholars put their eyes into a series of studies, such as knowledge engineering, the relationship between modern linguistics and terminology, as well as the relationship between terminology and ontology. The contribution of scholars in France to the Terminology is a vivid miniature of the whole European academic panorama. This paper aims at giving a preliminary research on the intersection of terminology and ontology made by French scholars in the past 20 years.%近20年，“欧盟”历经几次东扩。欧洲大陆在经济、教育和意识形态方面日趋一体化，这也促使欧洲学者对“知识工程”、现代语言学与术语学的关系、“知识本体”与现代术语学理论和实践关系的研究日趋深入。法国学者在此期间对现代术语学的贡献正是这个历史时期的缩影。文章侧重从术语学研究与知识本体构建相结合的角度，介绍、分析法国学者对现代术语学所做的贡献，以期追踪国际术语学发展的前沿，为中国术语学建设提供一些借鉴。
