Abstract
The article deals with the analysis of development of the fields of cosmetology and aesthetic medicine and formation of its terminology system. The aim of this study is grounded analysis of the theoretical material on the basic requirements and features of terms. Most spoken words, however, are multi‐valued, therefore it is sometimes not clear what value is applied at a certain point and, accordingly, understanding will never be absolute. In this work a number of requirements and features for a lexicographic product – term, are outlined. The article gives a detailed analysis of requirements and features of CAM terms. The research materials are English‐language women magazines (electronic and printed) over the past ten years: “Allure – Beauty Tips”, “Beauty Wire Magazine”, “PRIME Journal”, dictionaries on plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine: “Milady’s Illustrated Cosmetology Dictionary”, “Salon's Cosmetology Dictionary”, websites (electronic recourses): “AMERICAN SOCIETY OF PLASTIC SURGEONS”, “Medscape”, “Modern aesthetic”, “American Academy of Aesthetic Medicine”. The analyzed material makes it possible to distinguish the main canons of the "ideal term", specified by a certain discipline and field of knowledge. The term must be exact, stylistically eloquent, expressive, clearly defined, accurate, relevant, easy to remember, as it is used by specialists of certain branches in order to prevent a variety of both linguistic and professional mistakes. The topicality of the work is determined by necessity to study English-language cosmetology and aesthetic medicine texts, particulary requirements and features to the CAM terms. Terminology is the most dynamic element of the lexical‐semantic system of continuously developing language, adapting to the conditions of globalization. The lexicon of CAM is interesting to linguists because of the fact that the interaction of extralinguistic and linguistic factors is very clearly seen. The article сan be of interest to linguists and specialists in the fields of cosmetology and aesthetic medicine.
