Title: LEXICAL AND SEMANTIC RELATIONS IN THE TERMINOLOGY SYSTEM OF IVAN FRANKO’S  ECONOMIC WORKS

Rubric: SOCIO-POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC TERMINOLOGY

Language: Ukrainian

Abstract: The article deals with systemic lexical and semantic relations in economic terminology. The role of synonyms in economic terminology is determined. The semantics and stylistic nature of lexical synonyms in the language of Ivan Franko’s economic works are  traced.
It has been determined that Ivan Franko’s scientific language is characterised by a high concentration of synonymous lexical means.  Logical and stylistic synonyms are relevant for the texts under study. The most significant synonymic units are duplicate terms. From the
point of view of stylistic differentiation, the presence of synonymic series with common, bookish, and colloquial components in the texts of  Ivan Franko’s economic works is recorded and described. The stratification of lexical and semantic relations fixes the component fullness of  synonymous pairs and series, and also states the activity of the phenomenon of duplication. The components of synonymous pairs and rows  are: a) duplicate terms, b) terms and commonly used book lexemes, c) terms, commonly used book lexemes and colloquial lexemes.
The article traces antonymic relations between the components of Ivan Franko’s individual scientific language. In the system of language, antonyms reflect the  verbalised cognition of opposites in nature and in social life, and thus, economic phenomena. Antonymy is most clearly manifested in the  lexicon. This feature is also evidenced in the scientific language: the register of terms as the basis of its vocabulary includes antonyms. The  existence of antonymic relations in terminology is due to the nature of cognition of reality and linguistic means of expression. It has been found that the adjacent use of antonyms within the same sentence or microcontext clearly shows their nature as verbalisers of opposite  meaning and often creates a stylistic intra-textual contrast.
The attention is focused on the fact that antonyms are less functionally loaded in the language of Ivan Franko’s economic works than synonyms. The analysis of the antonymic relations between the components of the  dictionary of Ivan Franko’s economic works shows that the phenomenon of antonymy is less significant for the language of the studied works compared to the phenomenon of synonymy.

Keywords: scientific language, stylistics, lexical and semantic relations, lexical synonyms, duplicate terms, antonymic correlations.
