Abstract

In this article the morphological term creation is analyzed: affixation, conversion, general vocabulary processes and lexical-semantic relations in the English term system of education are also analyzed. The English-speaking terminology system of education is characterized as complex, stable and dynamic. Its elements are units of autochthonous language and borrowing from other languages, and the structure is isomorphic to the structure of logical connections between the concepts of the field of education. This term system is an open set, which draws from the whole variety of language tools new opportunities for expressing the values arising in the process of further development of educational activity. Semantic terminology has always been one of the main ways to replenish terminology. As a result of the semantic method of terminology, the terminological meaning is exhausted on the rights of the lexical-semantic variant, which develops on the basis of the adjacency of the signs of what is already indicated in the previous meaning of the word and the new one, which is denoted.

Highlights

  • Vocabulary is one of the most important linguistic mechanisms that ensure the endless replenishment of the vocabulary of the language

  • We try to identify and systematize the most productive word-making affixes, with the help of which derived words are formed in the English-language terminology of the sphere of education

  • A large number of deadjective nouns function, which were formed not by conversion, but rather by an ellipse – instead of a phrase consisting of an adjective and a noun used: –– academicals – university form; –– elective – a discipline in a school, college, which is chosen at will; –– extracurriculars – extracurricular, extracurricular activities; –– oral – oral exam

Summary

Introduction

Vocabulary is one of the most important linguistic mechanisms that ensure the endless replenishment of the vocabulary of the language. 2. Affixal method of term creation in English-language methodical vocabulary The peculiarities of modern English are the great potential of vocabulary, including morphological wording: affixation, conversion, phrase. Affixal method of term creation in English-language methodical vocabulary The peculiarities of modern English are the great potential of vocabulary, including morphological wording: affixation, conversion, phrase In this paragraph, we try to identify and systematize the most productive word-making affixes, with the help of which derived words are formed in the English-language terminology of the sphere of education. The categorical meaning of a given word is most often preserved and it does not pass to the other part of the language (Tsarev, 1984:15) This type of prefix derivatives is called modification as opposed to transposition, in which the word is recategorized and is not typical of English. The given examples of word formation of pedagogical terms with the help of prefixes confirm the opinion of GA Ufimtseva that "in the case of prefixation, the essence of the name is contained in the motivating word, and the prefix only specifies the basis, but does not indicate the class of objects – the class of objects is marked by the defining word (basis)" (Ufimtseva, 1977: 56)
