Mahmudov also addresses this linguistic issue, that express scientific concepts—terms—based on posing the following question: A question naturally numerous studies: “1) A term is monosemous or tends arises—are these requirements applicable to all terms toward monosemy; 2) A term has a clear, nominative in the languages of all scientific disciplines without function and does not possess emotional, expressive, exception?

For example, sixty Russian linguist S.G. Dudetskaya, who studied years ago, Polish linguist A. Schaff lamented: “Today, metaphorization in terminology, explains the semantics as a field of scientific research is becoming continued existence of synonymy among terms as so complex, and the term itself has acquired such follows: Medicine, as a developing field, is not free from polysemy, that if we wish to avoid unpleasant synonymy in its terminology. The reasons for the confusion and logical ambiguity, we must subject the emergence of synonyms in terminology include: lexeme ‘semantics’ itself to semantic analysis” [1: 6–7]. traditional usage of terms, the existence of diverse Based on N.
