Journal Title: Мова - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 30
Abstract
The purpose of the article is to trace the process of formation of terms used in the sphere of environmental studies. The research focuses on the peculiarities of the terminology of natural sciences in comparison with the same terminology in the European languages. The findings of the study are the proofs that the original Russian words in the language of science was not required, as the scientific elite was multinational and the terms entered the Russian language as a ready system. The result: Nowadays, highly specialized scientific terms are used in the texts of environmental topics to explain general problems of the existence of the planet Earth and human life. Methodology: linguistic analysis was carried out comprehensively, within the framework of conceptual-semantic, lexical, grammatical and translation studies, in particular, on the example of the topic of melting glaciers and related terms of glaciology. Conclusions: The formation of environmental terminological system in Russian had a specific character, different from the processes of development of terminological systems in European languages. The choice of archaisms and historicisms as additional and amplifying means for the expression of categories and concepts capable to form ecological consciousness is nationally determined. In the Russian-speaking scientific community, associations with the values of the national heritage create an increase in the illocutionary force. But the formation of new nominations is taking place in our time in languages whose speakers promote scientific knowledge, which generates internationalization of modern terms replacing the established Russian environmental terminology. The study shows rapid changes in semantics and graphic design in the conditions of multilingualism of the expert community. The practical value of the study lies in the fact that its results served as the basis for a series of tasks developed by the textbook and the teaching and methodical manual on translation.
