Semantic Phenomena Characterizing English Terminology of Biotechnology

Semantic Phenomena Characterizing English Terminology of Biotechnology

Abstract

The article deals with the analysis of the main semantic processesin the English terminological system of biotechnology. The importance of ourinvestigation lies in the fact that biotechnology is still a rather new sphere ofhuman activity that is rapidly developing at present, thus the special language ofbiotechnology reflecting these rapid changes demands great attention on the partof terminologists as the new concepts should be nominated and different semanticprocesses described. The aim of the research is to define and describeterminological meanings of the English terms of biotechnology in comparison withother words of general language and terms of other spheres of human activity andanalyze such semantic processes as polysemy and synonymy inside thisterminology. In order to achieve the aim of the work it is necessary to studyEnglish biotechnology terms and their meanings on the basis of explanatory andterminological dictionaries and to analyze different semantic processes in the113English biotechnological terminology. The language material of our investigationis 1000 English biotechnology terms with the explanation of their terminologicaland general meanings. The words are taken from terminological and explanatorydictionaries. The analysis showed that many English biotechnology terms wereformed by means of terminologization of common language words. The correlationof special and common language lexis is studied by means of selection of commonsemantic features (semes). Special emphasis in the articles is also laid on the studyof polysemy and synonymy in English terminology of biotechnology

Статтю присвячено аналізу семантичних процесіввсередині англійської терміносистеми біотехнології. Мета дослідженняполягає у визначенні та описі спеціальних значень англійських термінівбіотехнології у порівнянні зі словами загальновживаної мови та термінамиінших наук, а також аналізі термінологічної синонімії і полісемії. Мовнийматеріал склали англійські терміни біотехнології зі спеціальнимтлумаченням, що були вибрані з термінологічних словників, а такожзагальновживаними значеннями для вивчення процесів, що пов’язують цютермінологію із загальновживаною мовою.Аналіз дозволив виявити, що певна кількість термінів у англійськійтермінології біотехнології утворилася шляхом термінологізаціїзагальновживаних одиниць. Співвідношення спеціальної та загальновживаноїлексики вивчаємо за допомогою виділення спільних семантичних ознак,тобто сем. У процесі аналізу було виявлено існування синонімічних термініву досліджуваній терміносистемі.
