Definition Of Terminology Systems In Modern Linguistic Science

Abstract

The article deals with the problem of interaction of terms and vocabulary of the general literary language, the features of the terms as the basic units of the terminology system are analyzed, ways of its replenishment are explored. In particular, attention is drawn to the vocabulary of the language as an open dynamic system, which is enriched by the emergence of terms. The terms, in contrast to commonly used words within the terminology field, are usually unambiguous and associated with a definite scientific concept: the term reflects the results of scientific research and their theoretical comprehension. The terms are evidence of the interpenetration of terminological and non-terminological vocabulary, reflecting the processes of terminology and determinism. The process of terminology passes in two ways. The first way is to provide a commonly used word for precise definition – definitions. The second method (borrowing words from the literary language) involves creating a term for using the similarity of one subject or phenomenon to another. In this case, the basis of terminology is the metaphor, in particular, the transfer of the name occurs, and the term acts as a metaphor in relation to the word literary language. Another phenomenon that is observed in the language is the rethinking of the terms. There is a process of determinism, when the term loses rigorous conceptuality, systematic, uniqueness, there is a simplification of the concept contained in it, the term adapts to understanding in everyday language. Interesting in the article is the idea of the delimitation of the terminology field and the terminology system. Terminological field is artificially delineated and specially preserved from outside intrusions industry term existence. In the terminology field, unlike the terminology system, the term does not have a strictly defined place, but only forms part of it. An important point in constructing a terminology system is to clarify the types of relations between concepts and their systematization, which is associated with problems of functional systemology. This gave reason to replace the concept of “kind” with the notion of “meron”, “funkson” and “taxon”.
