The development of indigenous terms to denote indigenous concepts is a phenomena which occurs in societal sphere of many Third World countries. Several such terms which appear alien to Western World have been incorporated by scholars in social sciences. Several illustrations in this aspect have been shown. The author advocates for a universal onomantic approach wherein concept-term relation is governed by intellectual categoreal system. He advocates INTERCOCTA as an international programme to assist the development and internationalization of indigenous concepts.Downloads
