Title: Interlingual Processes of Interference in English Terminological System

Rubric: Branch Terminology

Abstract: The article is concerned with an extensive research into the issue of structural, semantic and functional features of English social and political terminology. Social and political term is defined as a word or word combination that expresses political notion and belongs to science and political terminology as informative, meaningful and mono semantic unit. The aim of the research is to give an analysis of lexical-semantic peculiarities of the terminology researched in both statics and dynamics. We investigate different term formation means in order to reveal the most productive ones. Metaphor is the most efficient in semantic term formation, as such terms are motivated and establish relations with the other ones.

 Keywords: interlingual interference; science and political terminology; mass media discourse; invariant meaning of the term; micro/macro field; linguo pragmatics; term forming models.
