Journal Title: Scientific journal «International Journal of Philology» - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 263
Abstract
Currently the issues of the regulation of language processes in the field of terminology, emergence and enlargement of metalanguages are of particular interest to linguists. Specialized linguistic functioning unites a range of multiaspect terminology issues as everything connected with clarifying the concept ‘term’ takes linguistics closer not only to different fields of knowledge but to different areas of professional practice, activities as well. The objectives of the article are to monitor the way the concept ‘term’ appeared in Ukrainian and foreign linguistics and to point out key definitions of terminology, term and its characteristics. The definition of the key concept ‘term’ is considered to be an important issue. In Ukraine the word ‘term’ dates back to the eighteenth century. Ukrainian philosopher G. Konysky developed the concept of the term. In foreign linguistics the study of the term emerged only in the early twentieth century. The definition of the term was commented on by the following scholars: L. Doederlein, Greenough, Cartridge, A. Shimmer, J. Vendryes, I. Smith, E. Gilbert. One of the important works on the terminology is the article of G. Vinokur ‘About certain word formation phenomena in Russian technical terminology’ (1939). Among existing definitions of the term in academic literature we have chosen the one suggested by A. Kryzhanivska and N. Simonenko which is based on the major function and implies the ability to express a scientific concept. On summarizing scholars’ works eight key term peculiarities have been distinguished. We consider the definition of terminology by B. Golovin and R. Kobrin which implies a spectrum of terms correlating on conceptual, derivational, semantic and grammatical levels to be important. Terms perform two functions – the nominative one that is to nominate notions and the one reflecting the content of the notion. Consequently, the regulation of different definitions of the notions ‘term’ and ‘terminology’, distinguishment of key term characteristics will dispel confusion with linguistic studies on the issues of terminology and will make the examination of terms of certain fields of knowledge more understandable and accessible.
