Functional features of economic terminology in modern scientific discourse

Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of the economic terms in scientific discourse. The synthesis of modern business and the latest technologies has led to the emergence of new words and concepts that mark a new stage in society development. Economic terms are studied in the aspect of their structural-semantic, derivational, functional-discursive and linguacultural features. Illustrative material was obtained by the method of continuous sampling from electronic scientific and analytical journals, reflecting modern economic processes at the global, national and regional levels. Descriptive-analytical, stylistic, structural-semantic, distributive methods, and the semantic field method were used as the main methods. It is shown that the method of nominating this category of names is due to the choice of motivated and unmotivated units associated in one way or another with morphological or semantic derivation, or borrowing from other languages. The language means participate in the development of terms, as the result of semantic processes, old terms acquire new meanings, borrowings are included in the word-formation processes of the Russian language, "trying on" new models of word production. The analysis of metaphorical combinations made it possible to identify associative models, the structure of which is motivated by ​​the source-concept area. The most productive were anthropocentric models that actualize the most important characteristics of economic concepts. Metaphorical rethinking is based on the associations that accumulate the cultural, historical and social experience of the Russian people, and is characterized by national determinism.
