Lexical and Structural Peculiarities of Marine Power Plants Terminology (Лексико-стуктурні особливості термінології морських електростанцій)

Abstract

Дослідження присвячене визначенню лексико-структурних особливостей термінології морських електростанцій. У вступі визначено актуальність, мету, завдання, об’єкт, предмет, методологію дослідження, наукову новизну, теоретичну та практичну цінність. У теоретичній частині висвітлено підходи до визначення термінології, розкрито модель розробки термінології морських електростанцій, описано послідовність морфологічного, синтаксичного і когнітивного аналізу. У практичній частині виявлено лексичні та структурні особливості термінології морських електростанцій. The research work, submitted for the master’s degree qualification, is devoted to the study of Marine Power Plants (MPP) terminology within a larger terminological field of shipbuilding. The author attempted to review the latest theoretical achievements of the world terminology and terminography and choose the approach for the efficient selection, analysis and systematizing the subject field of MPP and their functioning in the terminological fields of two languages: English and Russian. In the course of the study a few auxiliary problems were solved, i.e. a cognitive analysis of an MPP subject field terms, historic review of maritime dictionaries, compilation of an English e-dictionary with Russian equivalents, etThe work comprises an introduction, three chapters, conclusions, bibliography of quoted sources and an addendum: English terminological electronic dictionary of MPP with Russian equivalents. The Introduction contains the substantiation of the study topicality, its novelty, theoretical and practical significance of the research results, the main aim and the tasks for its achievement are formulated. Besides, a brief description of terminography as a separate science field is also adduced. Chapter 1 comprises theoretical concepts of various researchers for a term, its definitions, different approacges to the procedure of selection, analysis and description of a terminological field on the basis of different techniques existing in moders lexigorgaphy and terminography. In Chapter 2 the author shows how theoretical criteria are used for defining the indicated subject field of shipbuilding and, more detailed, the terminological nucleus of marine power plants.The model of MPP terminological formation is demonstrated on the basis of preceeding comprehensive and systemic analysis (morphological, syntactic, semantic, cognitive, logical ones) finalizing the consequential procedure of selection and defining the terms forming an MPP subject field. Chapter 3 is devoted to the review of existing maritime bilingual and multilingual dictionaries after a brief comparison among the so called ‘paper’ dictionaries and various electronic dictionaries. The author demonstrates the procedure of forming an MPP electronic dictionary on the basis of ABBY Lingvo platform with the help of DSL programming language, designed specially for an ordinary end-user. Conclusions comprise the listing of the most important results of the diploma work. It is stated that the compilation of an electronic English dictionary supplied with Russian equivalents was its main aim and practical result. The List of Cited Works comprises 83 references.
