7.1.4 Special Attributes

Special purpose languages often have special names. Object-oriented languages, for example, may have method names, class names, and object names, in addition to the usual other classes. Scoping is particularly important in object-oriented languages because names often inherit operations and values from super classes which contain them.

Functional programming languages such as Scheme and Lisp have scoping issues which involve "binding" a name to a particular environment.
