Pragmatics оf Industry Terminology іn the Professional Activity оf Social Workers

У статті досліджується функціонування термінологічної системи соціальної роботи для визначення чинників, які впливають на прагматику термінів цієї галузі. Вивчення та опис терміносистеми соціальної роботи на сучасному етапі розвитку необхідні для встановлення її системного характеру, виявлення специфіки лінгвістичних процесів. Фактичний матеріал, а також мета й завдання його вивчення зумовили використання наступних методів дослідження: концептуального, контекстуального, а також синхронно-описовий метод. Дослідження терміносистеми соціальної роботи та приклади реального функціонування термінологічних одиниць дозволяють стверджувати, що мова термінів не виступає закритим комплексом штучно створених одиниць, а існує як відкрита адаптивна асоціативна система.The article investigates the functioning of the social work system terminology to determine the causes which affect the pragmatic terms in the industry. Studying and description of a social work term system at the present stage of its development is obviously to establish a systemic tone, as well as to identify the specifics of the linguistic processes which are typical for this system. Considering the fact that the social activity and solutions of their implementing are directly dependent on the nature of the decoding and analysis of relevant information so there are some of them which are directly related with the conceptual-categorical apparatus of the language system, serving this social side, arise an urgent necessity for more detailed investigation of such terminology pragmatic feature. The actual material character, the same as goals and objectives of its studying have determined the choice of the research of the following methods: conceptual, contextual and comparative analysis, as well as synchronous-descriptive method. Pragmatics of social work terms caused by the fact that in the process of semantic terminology generation or the development of the initial lexical unit value or the original term (full or partial rethinking of semantics, narrowing/expansion of the meaning, metaphoric/metonymic transfer of the meaning) had happened, or the semantics of the original ones had been saved, fully matched to the requirements of terminological system at the designation of special concepts in the sphere of social work. Such aspects as context of their use; space-time period of their functioning; the presence in society of social stereotypes; possible authorship or source of the term influence the pragmatic of terms of social work were investigated. The research of terminological system of social work and examples of real functioning of terminological units allow us to be enough confident with sufficient precision that the terms of language is not the intention to create a closed complex units, and exists as an open adaptive associative system. Studying the terminology of social work is also important for the creation and further correction of the regulatory basis of this activity, which now seems the most actual for our country. By the way, the existence of a clear terminological industry contributes to more active participation of its experts in international projects, grants and programs, which aim is to promote social equity principles
