Формирование терминологии англоязычной дентальной имплантологии: междисциплинарный подход

Abstract

The research aims to identify the features of formation of the language of interdisciplinarity of English-language dental implantology. The paper examined the main sources of term formation, considered the compositional semantics of derivatives and multicomponent terms in the terminology of English dental implantology, conducted a structural analysis of the terms and highlighted the main syntactic word-formation models. As part of the study of terminological systems, the following categories of terms were identified and analyzed: “Biological processes of osseointegration”, “Biotechnical standards of intraosseous implants”, “Computer technologies in dental implantation”, “Surgical procedures for implant placement”. The research is novel in that it is the first to systematize the terminology of English-language dental implantology as a special language of interdisciplinary scientific and professional communication. As a result of the research, it has been found that the process of terminology development in dental implantology is in continuous correlation with the development of interdisciplinary scientific knowledge. Most of the borrowed terms, integrating into the conceptual sphere of English dental implantology, are reterminologized or create new notions, forming multicomponent terminological phrases in which the term is included as an integral part, being the semantic centre of the invariant, specifying the meaning based on the differential feature of the notion.
