СЕМАНТИЧНА СТРУКТУРА АНАЛІТИЧНИХ ТЕРМІНІВ НАУКОВО-ТЕХНІЧНОЇ ТЕРМІНОЛОГІЇ

The article contains the accurate research of the semantic structure of scientific technical analytic terms – special nomination units. The technical term semantic structure is qualified as the complex of semes, combining certain special term substantial characteristics. It was proved every terminological word-combination presents semantically complete structure. According to this position, several degrees of semantic unity were differentiated in succession. The semantic unity of the terminological unit depends on the presence or deficiency of the words, which are not scientific technical terms, in its structure. It is ascertained that terminological units constituents are endued with the highest functional potential in the terminology when firstly, realized by scientific technical term, and secondly, explicated by other lexical subsystems representative. Those analytic terms, the onomasiology base of which as well as their onomasiology characteristic feature has the terminological meaning, are fulfilled with the less number of units. The semantic structure of scientific technical terminology multicomponent terms can be characterized as more complicated; the degree of their semantic unity is lower to compare with two-component ones. The accomplished research of semantic modifications testifies the specific activity of the meanings metaphor and metonymy processes. The semantic transformation process, as a rule, is set in nouns, less – in adjectives. The analytic terms all-embracing analysis has brought to the fact there is a deep connection between semantic and grammatical structures of a certain analytic nomination
