Полисемия в авиационной терминологии

Abstract

It is known that events in society affect the language. As a result of these changes, we are observing an update of terms and a replenishment of the vocabulary of the language. As we know, modern English is a world-famous, prestigious, recognized spoken language of the international level. Emerging technical innovations, scientific discoveries, international contacts of scientists contribute to the emergence of new terms. The article reveals the main sources and methods of the formation of ambiguous terms in the aviation terminology of the English and Azerbaijani languages. In addition, the relevance of the study of aviation terminology is determined. The article provides a brief overview of the interpretations and definitions of the concept of polysemy, proposed by authoritative terminologists. Understanding polysemy as a cognitive mechanism and understanding the role of nomination in term formation contribute to an increase in the number of ambiguous terms. Here, links were made to the opinions of prominent linguists of the polysemy. Depending on the context and lexical environment, most of the words of common vocabulary can change their meaning, semantics. It is pointed out that in the English aviation, the terms are translated into Azerbaijani with two, three, four or more meanings and confirmed by examples, namely, phrases or even whole sentences that illuminate one or another meaning of a multi-valued word. Accordingly, in a specific situation, the terminology must be accurate and correctly understood. Polysemy in the English language can create difficulties, but if we understand the essence of the discourse, we can memorize as separate words as whole expressions.
