Abstract

The article is dedicated to analysis of terminology chains, terminological paradigms, terminological families, terminological rows formed by combining forms. Typically the process of filling terminological families exceeds the speed of formation of new ones. Analysis of the material showed that the studied classical word forming elements are characterized by creating the chains of two, three and even four units. Such mini families (2-3 members paradigm) make up a small number in modern terminological systems but have a high potential and provide further “growth” of terms families. Structurally and semantically related terms form terminological series in which terminological elements enter into syntagmatic and paradigmatic relations. The final forms enter into the paradigmatic relations as a part of the terminological paradigm built with using a common prepositional component. Acting as a prepositional component they indicate individual features of an object or phenomenon and are a variable value. They become a constant value in the role of postpositive formant and are the indicators of a class of objects or phenomena performing a systematizing function. Classical terminological elements form open terminological rows, chains, families and can enter into paradigmatic relations, which is an important system-forming factor used in terminology to reflect the systemic nature of scientific concepts. The very process of the new terminological families, chains, paradigms creation can be considered both as a process and as a result of terminological derivation.
