PROBLEMS OF SYNONYMY AND ANTONYMY OF TERMS – THEORETICAL REVIEW

Аннотация

In the following article, we will discuss such linguistic properties of the language of special purposes as synonymy, antonymy and polysemy. If in the general vocabulary these phenomena are presented sequentially, then in the special vocabulary they have their own characteristics. So, unambiguity has always been singled out as the desired requirements for terms, when one word has one meaning. This means that the term has no polysemantic relations, synonyms, antonyms. Modern studies of terminological units prove that in practice the situation is different. Within special areas of knowledge, there is a continuous replenishment and updating of lexical units, often ahead of the development of general vocabulary, where there is no urgent need to replenish and expand the vocabulary.
