Abstract

Abstract. The study analyzes extralinguistic and linguistic factors in the formation of the terminological field "animal diseases" in the English language. The study of veterinary work and its terminology revealed the causes of the first terms formation and the main stages of development of veterinary knowledge, which are reflected in the structural types of English terms of the studied terminological field "animal diseases". Lexical and semantic variants of the English terminology of veterinary medicine testify to the long history of its formation, the main stages of which are considered in the article.

The purpose of the research is to analyze and describe the main factors of linguistic and extralinguistic nature that determine the lexical content of the terminological field "animal diseases" in modern English.

Results of research. The lexical-semantic processes that accompany the development of the studied term sphere are analyzed. The main tendencies of influence of linguistic and extralinguistic factors of stimulation of terminology development of the English-language terminological field "animal diseases" are characterized. One of the important linguistic factors in the formation of “animal diseases” terminology is the presence of a large number of means of term formation. Among the sources of the formation of animal diseases nominations are morphological, syntactic and semantic methods, as well as borrowings from other languages.

The analysis of the studied material allowed establishing and describing extralinguistic factors of terminological nomination, which are closely correlated with the specifics of scientific knowledge of the veterinary field, the conditions of its formation and development.

Selected extralinguistic factors of terminological nomination demonstrate the relationship between events occurring in society as a whole and in individual communities, on the one hand, on the other - the process of creating units of terminological vocabulary.
