Abstract
The article discusses the terminological neologisms of Yu.A. Sorokin as both special lexical and text units. Yu.A. Sorokin had a peculiar predilection to creating terms based on the Greco-Latin derivational morphemes. He treated them creatively introducing new elements and reinterpreting the standard ones, for instance creating new correlative pairs. One of the favorite terminological models of Yu.A. Sorokin was emic which allows to briefly identify the category-forming entities. It is noted that, Yu.A. Sorokin rarely gave precise definitions to his terminological creations and did not worry about their general availability (the sapienti sat principle). Presenting thoughts in the form of postulates, he used the principle in medias res, i.e., he introduced a term / terms to the text without any expositional preparation. The article concludes that the term creation of Yu.A. Sorokin, that may be perceived as non-conformist at first, is quite harmonious in fact. To see that, one just needs to turn to the texts. Yu.A. Sorokins term-generating genre / type of text is a postulate and / or a manifesto, i.e., a text with a focus on concentration and suggestion. Hence, there follows a non-definitive way of presenting a term and terminological amplification, with the author using familiar international terminology, correlative terminological pairs and constellates, parenthetical inserts and graphic tools as cognitive clues for the addressee.
