Abstract
This paper discusses the functioning of terms in the texts of natural sciences. The article describes the conditions (parameters) of the functioning of terms in the texts of the analyzed sciences. Representing the features of language scientific literature, analyzed in this article, the texts show a high degree of specialization that affects primarily on the intensity of their terms. The terms are analyzed by formality, by semantic criterion and by the scope of usage. We have identified the problem of the complexity of perception and understanding of specialized scientific texts by students. In this connection there is the need to analyze the functioning of the terms in the texts of scientific disciplines. The research question is studying the functioning of terms based on the material of specialized scientific texts using the following parameters: 1) formal criterion, 2) semantic criterion, 3) scope of usage of the terms. The following methods were used: analysis of studies devoted to the issue of terminology; linguistic analysis; lexico-semantic analysis; graphical method of presenting research results. After analyzing more than 100 scientific articles published in 2017-2018, we stopped at a detailed lexical-semantic analysis of those who, in our opinion, most clearly demonstrate the functioning of terms in these areas of scientific knowledge. Our study revealed that the most productive method of terminology in scientific texts on medicine, physics and mathematics turned out to be multicomponent terminological combinations.
