Combinatorial Linguistics Terms In The Russian Language: The Syntactic Method Of Formation

Abstract

The aim of the study is to describe the structural features of the terminology of combinatorial linguistics which studies the syntagmatic relations of language units and their combinatorial potential. This article discusses the syntactic method of formation of Russian terms of this field of knowledge. The classification of terminological phrases presented in the terminology of combinatorial linguistics was carried out. In the course of the study two-word, three-word, as well as four-word and five-word terms of the combinatorial field of knowledge were singled out. In addition, we identified the models by which the terminological phrases of the research area were formed. We also found that with an increase of the components in terminological phrases, there is a decrease in the number of units of such structures. It is determined that the most common constructions of terms in combinatorial linguistics are two-word terms. It is revealed that for two-word terminological phrases the most common model of their formation is the construction containing the adjective in the function of a prepositive attribute. A less common construction among such terms is the model of formation in which the noun acts as a postpositive attribute. We established that among the three-word terminological phrases the most frequent formation model is a construction consisting of such components as: adjective + adjective + noun. Less frequent formation models of such terminological phrases are: adjective + noun + noun; noun + adjective + noun.
