Title: VARIATION OF TERMS: DETERMINOLOGIZATION OR DETERMINIZATION

Rubric: TERM AND LANGUAGE PRACTICE. PROFESSIONAL LANGUAGE PERSONALITY

Language: Ukrainian

Abstract: The article draws attention to the various terms available in the scientific literature: two related lexemes  – determinologization and determinization – nominate the same linguistic concept. Since modern terminology  interprets the variant of terms as a negative phenomenon, the tasks of the research are to reveal the reasons for the  coexistence of variant terms, to analyze the objective and subjective factors of the functioning of each term, and to  find out which of them should be preferred and approved in professional use. It was established that the variation of  the terms was caused by the use of different suffix models for naming the same scientific concept. We believe that the term determinologization appeared in the Ukrainian linguistic terminological system as a result of the interfering
influence of the Russian language, has become widespread in scientific discourse, coexists with several term units  subject to a similar word-forming architecture (determinologism, determinologized), and generally corresponds to  the systemic features of the terminology of linguistics. However, the modern tendency to the most active  involvement of specific morphemes in term formation is appropriate. Therefore, we state that the term opposition “termination – determination” has an indisputable advantage since it is based on a native word-formation model. Another critical advantage of using the term determination is its relative brevity, which is one of the basic  requirements for the term. The shorter the lexeme, the easier it is to form derivatives and the more convenient it is to use. We consider the third advantage to be the motivation of the term determination: the structural motivator in
it is the suffix -нн(я) [-nn(ya)], since its meaning of objectified action, process accurately reflects the essence of the  signified concept, in contrast to the suffix morpheme -ацій- [-atsii-], which, in combination with the root morpheme, can also acquire and the value of the result of the action. We emphasize that the parallel use of variant terms has  grounds for long-term existence. However, in the lexeme perspective, determinologization can be limited to  nominating the concept “result of the determination process.”
