Мethodology of linguistic description for names of green plantations

Abstract

Terminology is as young science, which gradually develops its methodological basis. The complexity of this process consists in the fact that the object of terminology is multi-sectoral terminology systems. This process can be described as multifaceted, heterogeneous. Different traditions, results, and consequences are typical of it.

The purpose is to describe the methodology and methodical tools for studying the botanical terminology system, in particular its subsystem – the names of green plantations.

Such methods as analysis, synthesis, generalization, systematization, and comparison were used.

Results. The study of any terminology occurs in stages. Based on the analysis of the current terminology works we emphasize four stages in the development of the terminology of a particular branch of knowledge:

1)   inventory of available terms;

2)    ordering and systematization of terms with the further harmonization of concepts and subsystems of concepts within the subject branch "botanical terminology", in particular the names of green plantations;

3)   codification of terms;

4)   standardization of terms.

Developing terminology, scientists simultaneously fix the current definitions and the contexts of their use. Analysis of the used definitions enables the development of a single interpretation, which contains the most significant signs of a definite concept.

Classification approach as an element of the descriptive method is widely used in the terminology of the description of language units. Terminologists use their  own terminology, logical, linguistic classifications.

Terminological classification involves the division of terminology of the whole scientific system of a specific language on the term category; General scientific, general technical and interdisciplinary terms; special terms.

Conclusion.Determination of methodological and methodical tools for researching the names of green plantations, mastering them is a determining prerequisite for the solution of terminological problems, which under the influence of external and internal factors were clearly reoriented to the national-language plane. The outlined methodology and methods of terminological studies will contribute to solving the newest terminological challenges in the subsystem of the botanical terminology of the "names of green plantations". Further research will focus on the study of structural and statistical methods, the thematic research method, component and transformational analysis, and others. It will form a categorical apparatus and methodological tools of botanical terminology.
