Abstract

The study aims to determine the structural-semantic features of English-language terms of the subject area “Plasma Physics”, identified in a text of limited volume (an academic paper). The study is novel in that it is the first to carry out a comparative structural-semantic analysis of plasma physics terms of different lengths. The researchers substantiate the idea that a single paper from a scientific journal is a representative source to select terms and form on their basis a corpus of terms for a structural-semantic analysis. As a result, models of terms of different lengths are identified and compared in the corpus, their part-of-speech and semantic charge correlates with the data obtained by analysing the formal structure of terms of other subject areas, using the material of special dictionaries.
