LINGUISTIC DESCRIPTION OF TWO-COMPONENT AND THREE-COMPONENT BIOLOGICAL TERMS: STRUCTURAL MODELING

Journal Title: Scientific journal «International Journal of Philology» - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 272

Abstract

The article deals with studying structural types of biological terms, in particular, names of trees and shrubs. There are considered the main trends of structural modeling at the present stage of terminology development. There are determined the signs and functions of analytical terminological combinations. By the number of components, the terminological combinations – names of trees and shrubs – are divided into two-component, three-component and multi-component structural types. Two-component structural models distinguish between species and generic concepts, i.e. to the term – generic concept – there is added the attribute, a species concept that specifies the generic concept. Only in aggregate, two lexemes transmit a single semantic integer. Depending on the syntactic structure of the word combination, the grammatical nature of its components, terminological word combinations can be classified and their structural models can be distinguished. Three-component word combinations often arise as a complication of two-component structures or a single word through further concretization of a certain concept or an indication of its variety. Clarifying information on the subject is given mainly by an adjective. There are analyzed two- and three-component structural types. The most productive types are the three-component ones – the noun + the noun + the noun (N1 + N2 + N1) and the noun + the adjective + the noun (N1 + Ad1 + N1).
