Grammar and vocabulary


Pecularities of Vocabulary:
1. Scientific terms: terminology, functional approach, Antinomy, modal neutrality, lexical-semantic
system, combinability, quasilexical means, terminological word-combinations, general language,
terminologisation, determinologisation or reterminologisation, sublanguage, cognition, concept,
polisemy, homonymy, conceptuality, synonymic description, morphophonology,
2. Half-terms: phenomena, normative criteria, subject, subject field, analysis, term, norm, sign, object,
criterion, systemity, research, formula.
3. Neutral vocabulary:activity, feature, help, vector, factor, stage, unit, case, nature.

Parts of speech which dominate:


- prepositions: of, for, to, in, on, by, from, with, out
- prepositional phrases: as the result of, by terms of, in its turn, on the basis of
- conjunctional phrases: in contrast, (in this connection) (for instance)
- pronouns: it as a formal subject, this, they (terms),
– notional words
- nouns: study, paradigm, connection, term
- adjectives: scientific, technical, logical, terminological
- verbs: accept, highlight, arise, prove
- adverbs: mostly, generally, usually
- numerals: two (approaches — functional, normative)

Connectors:
Tentitive language: almost, can be, concider
Tense and voice: present simple (term represents a certain concept; scholars concider terms to be
special words), past simple (functional approach was introduced by Vinokur), past perfect (a lot has
been done).
Active voice: Opposite to functional approach stands out the definition of term; Term represents a
certain concept referring to the realia; Every term reflects different stages of approximating to the truth
Passive voice: cintent is defined, term are coined, terminology is preconditioned, linguistic motivation
is confirmed

Syntax
purpose: declarative

structure:
simple: In this connection scholars point out that term is not univocal
complex: Human factor also influences appearance of asymmetrical dualism when there is a choice of
several words made to denote and express a concept which causes the phenomenon of synonymy.
composite: It is expedient to explain this by two factors: as a unit of logos term must comply with the
requirements of terminology system, i.e. “eliminating of indefiniteness, intellectual clarity, aesthetic,
emotional and modal neutrality and also orderliness and strict systemity”, while as a unit of lexis it is
“an obedient child” that strives for variation, whose content is defined within the given lexical-
semantic system and by its combinability

gerund: that is caused by its belonging to the General English Language. Pererva suggested functional
parameters for identifying “lower bound“. The priority of general language lexicon in producing terms
and their functional realisation. that presupposes its conceptual belonging to a certain sublanguage. It is
abstracted by fixing general distinguishing characteristics of individual objects and term. Every term
reflects different stages of approximating to the truth. which are typical for making terminological
word-combinations. The criterion of logical normativeness presupposes stating of hierarchical
connections.
infinitive: It is expedient to explain this. consider terms to be special words. they are almost impossible
to be achieved. is used by scholars to define term. that is to keep and fix scientific knowledge. n there is
a choice ofseveral words made to denote and express a concept. term must refer to a concept of a
certain subject. there must be terms. the distinctive features of each term must be expressed in a certain
way
Participle 1: there have been more and more terms arising. any word can be terminological unit
denoting a specialised concept. Term represents a certain concept referring to the realia. logical circle
in the definitions, breaking of systemity. Specifying the existence of term’s definition, scholars
underline. Since word can have several lexical-semantic variants, when coining a term, a terminologist
chooses such a variant. word-combination, expressing the notion of theoretical and practical activity.
Participle 2: practical activity represented in its definition. nomens as codified units. special words
characterised by univocity, precision, definition. mental construct, formed on the basis of an object.
motivated terms have definition. The more the internal form of the lexical unit correlates with the
meaning, the more motivated the given word is. when there is a choice ofseveral words made to denote
and express a concept. The generalised and analysed criteria enable defining of economic term.
possible further research suggested.

complicated by subject clause: it can be invariant and variant which causes various treatises of concept
relative clause: such a variant which describes best of all the scientific and technical realia or object
object clause: logical normativeness presupposes that terminological unit will perform its
gnoseological function
Defining relative clause: Since word can have several lexical-semantic variants, when coining a
term, a terminologist chooses such a variant
The Adverbial clause: terminology is preconditioned by motivation factor since language
motivation is confirmed as term’s chararacterisctic feature

Impersonal passive constructions: it is proven in a number of works that the boundary between
term and non-term is tenuous. it is acknowledged that those are the ones to an “ideal” term.
Causative constractions: This causes a number of language phenomena.
Formulas: sometimes it is difficult or impossible to distinguish. it is acknowledged that those are the
ones to an “ideal” term. it is clearly seen from the contemporary works on terminology.It is expedient
to explain. It must be noted.
Connectors: as a result, thus, in this connectiont, accordingly, in contrast, in this case, to
conclude, therefore, for instance.
Subordinating pronouns: although, as, when, if, since, so, than, though/
Referential pronouns: Every term reflects different stages of approximating to the truth since with
extending of knowledge of an object of study, new and new attributes of the known terms are added, it
can be invariant and variant
Demonstrative pronoun: notions concerning this field of human life. It is expedient to explain this by
two factors. language form in which it represents this concept. That is why current linguistic studies
within functional approach focus on different aspects of term-logos and term-lexis.
