Default What do Complex Metalanguage and Terminological Looseness mean?!

Hello everybody,

I'd like to know the meaning of the following two phrases.

"The text uses complex metalanguage."
"The text suffers from terminological looseness."

Would you please explain them to me?

Thank you in advance.
