TERMINOLOGY: A FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENT OF A SPECIFIC SUBLANGUAGE

Аннотация

The article considers meaning of the terminology system – the main component of the industry sublanguage serving a particular sphere of special human activity in the process of realizing his cognitive function. The main attention is paid to the analysis of the differences between two possiblesets of terms ofthe industry sublanguage – terminology and terminosystem. Keywords:terminology system; term; terminology; formation; cognition; specific sublanguage; concept; transformation. The main directions of the functional use of language inmodern society are: cognitive, communicative, interactive, social group, ethnocultural and personal. Among the identified directions, the most significant is cognitive, because language as a system of verbal signs ensures not only the transmission and receipt of messages containing knowledge about the surrounding world that a speaker or writer has, but also the processing and ordering of the acquired knowledge, including special knowledge, its storage in human memory, i.e. it functions as acognitivesystem. In this case, elements of knowledge, as a rule, are organized into complexes (intellectual systems, cognitive structures, frames) intended for long-term storage in human memory. These complexes, presented with the help of language, are included in a holistic system of knowledge – the so-called linguistic picture of the world, localized in the consciousness of the individual, capable of providing a person’s orientation in the environment and,to acertain extent, controlling hisbehavior [1]. The implementation of the cognitive function of language is impossible without the communicative one, since the transfer of information is carried out in the form of communicative acts, as well as without the interactive one, since a separate communicative act can be one of the links in communication. The social-group and ethnocultural functions of language give a person the opportunity to identify himself as a member of a particular social, professional, gender, age, ethnographic and other group. The personal function allows an individual to show himself as a person (passive or a leader), express the features of his character, showcommitmentto a certain style ofspeech communication, etc. This model of the functional description of language as a whole is also applicable to industry (professional) sublanguages, since they are considered by modern linguistics as functional varieties of national languages ​ ​ that are used in special areas of communication and are contrasted with the language of non-specialized areas of application (everyday life, the sphere of family relations and human recreation, etc.) as special fragments of the linguistic picture of the world [2]. An industry sublanguage serves any special sphere of human activity characteristic of the complex structure of modern society (science, economics, law, production, management, education, health care, defense, media, customs, etc.), since without communication between people participating in joint activities, it cannot page1589 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ISSN:2692-5206,ImpactFactor:12,23 AmericanAcademicpublishers,volume05,issue04,2025 Journal: https://www.academicpublishers.org/journals/index.php/ijai function and develop normally. Industry sublanguages ​ ​ and the language of everyday communication are subsystems of the same natural (national) language, between which there is an exchange of linguistic units at various levels (morphemic, word-formation, lexical, syntactic); other forms of interaction are also observed. Thus, the emergence of competition in business and trade, the reorganization of the service system led to the dialogization of communication, the increase in the importance of dialogue in professional communication. The development of the sublanguage of official business communication has formed a modern system of business documentation, oral and written speech patterns, business speech etiquette, which, in turn, is beginning to have a noticeable influence on the language of everyday communication [4]. As observations show, in the modern language of everyday communication the number of technical terms (primarily computer and cellular telephone terms) has also increased sharply, which, due to the high frequency of use, are “determinologized” and become an important part of the vocabulary and phraseology of the commonlanguage. At the same time, there are fundamental differences between industry sublanguages ​ ​ and the language of everyday communication: the language of everyday communication is primary, and all industry sublanguages ​ ​ are secondary; the language of everyday communication is practically unlimited in the sphere of its use, and each industry sublanguage is limited by its professional area; the language of everyday communication develops spontaneously, and during the formation of an industry sublanguage the significance of conscious activity increases; the language of everyday co
