This paper proposes a combined taxonomic-frames approach to terminological verb collocations considered within the broad category of terminological units. The latest approaches to terminology are briefly reviewed. Special attention is paid to the methodology of frame-based terminology, emphasizing its appropriateness for analyzing that type of collocations. The concept designated by the term in the collocation is assumed to be the Patient in a dynamic scene whereas the verb designates a dynamic action/process affecting it with a consequent Result. To perform the frame semantic analysis of the scenes, it is deemed necessary to first categorize those event structures into conceptual groups according to the type of Agent and Result. Such a preliminary taxonomic analysis is required to make the overall analytical procedure more explicit and applicable in a subsequent terminological contrastive analysis involved in multilingual terminological projects. The analytical procedures are exemplified with the term "steel‟ and its verb collocators.
