From a stricto sensu point of view, there is no direct relationship between ontology and text. The former is interesting in conceptualization – as an extra linguistic representation of conceptual knowledge –, when the latter is a matter for linguistics. Nevertheless, ontology and text are more and more connected in particular for ontology acquisition from texts. The main goal of this article, viewed as an introduction for the special session on “Ontology and Text” of the IEA/AIE 06 Conference, is to claim that: “the lexical structure and the conceptual structure in general do not fit”. As a matter of fact, writing technical documents remains a linguistic activity which belongs to rhetoric and one of the linguistics’ principles is the incompleteness of texts. Even if we can learn a lot of useful information from texts for building conceptual systems, we can not directly consider a word as a lexicalized concept nor the hyponymy relationship as a linguistic translation of the subclass relationship.
