Abstract:
The work is devoted to the research of terminology of various branches of knowledge in modern Ukrainian newspaper text. The term “terminology”, which many modern researchers use, today has considerably expanded its scope. In addition to naming the concepts of a particular scientific field, it denotes the term units used outside the terminology field in an unusual context for them. The newspaper text of socio-political direction is and remains the basic component of the media. Despite the powerful development of modern media such as the Internet, television, radio, the newspaper remains one of the types of informative sources, if not in paper, then electronically. Struggling for their existence, for circulation and accessibility, journalists seek to make the language of presentation interesting, original, emotionally colored. One of the methods of updating, modernizing the newspaper text was the use of professional vocabulary to reflect contemporary socio-political realities on both the Ukrainian and world scale. The use of term units outside the language of science, the transfer of elements of scientific style to journalism provokes their lexical, semantic modifications under the influence of external and intra-language factors. The work specifies the specifics of the functioning of terminology in the modern newspaper text. There are two main groups of terminology that are active in the newspaper lexicon: terminology tags, which are used in the direct sense (that is, in their nominative-defining function) and terminology, used in the figurative sense, which acquire emotional and expressive connotations. The paper describes the dynamics of lexical-semantic processes, which accompany the term vocabulary in the nominative-defining function. This, in particular, actualization of terminology, which was previously pushed out to the periphery of the language system; activation – an increase in the frequency of the use of individual linguistic units in connection with the needs caused by extralinguistic factors.
