This article is an attempt to substantiate the principles of thematic classification of English biotechnological terminology, to determine the principles of its systematic organization.
The purpose of the article is to identify on the basis of logical and conceptual analysis of the main thematic groups of English terms in the field of biotechnology.
Biotechnology is served exclusively in English terminology, although the development of research in the field of biotechnology is not a priority of the Anglo-American community. Biotechnological terminology is at the stage of formation due to the high level of innovation and dynamism of biotechnology, which makes it important to develop a classification of its terms, due to the need for analysis, selection of thematic groups, organizing special vocabulary.
Systematization of terms in the form of classification will contribute to a deeper understanding of the content of lexical items in the field of biotechnology. The selection of thematic groups from the terminological layer makes it possible to identify various lexical and semantic processes that are reflected in the scientific language with the help of terminological units. According to the commonality of semantics, the terms of the field of biotechnology are divided into thematic groups, including groups to denote: raw materials, biological object, biotechnological product, technologies, processes and devices that have found their application in the field of biotechnology. The ordering of the language material, namely the division of vocabulary into thematic groups and subgroups allows to holistically assess the structure of the studied terminology. Based on the results of the study, it can be argued that the terms of biotechnology are organized into a terminological system, where each unit captures and expresses the essential features of a concept, reflects the relationships between concepts and indicates their place in the system. coordinated with the meaning of other terms in this system. English biotechnological terminology, like any other industry terminology, is open and dynamic, as evidenced by the activity of the emergence of new terminological names to denote the relevant industry concepts.
