Abstract
The book under review is of interest as it outlines the author’s approach to understanding the paradigmatic relations in terminology. The structure of the terminological field and terminological system is differentiated, which makes it possible to use them in describing the processes of transterminologization and determinologization. In addition, the reasons for restricting synonymy, homonymy and polysemy in terminology are explained. Considering the issues of hypo-hypernymic relations in the terminological system, the author argues that the genus–species and dichotomous classification relations are the optimal type of terminological relations. Variation and synonymy are defined as zones of development for terminological systems. Homonymy and paronymy are considered by the author as totally undesirable phenomena in terminology.
