REPRESENTATION OF THE TERMINOLOGY FORMED BY THE METOD OF SEMANTIC DERIVATION IN A FOREIGN LANGUAGE CLASSROOM

Abstract

In the methodology of teaching Ukrainian as a foreign language, the issue of teaching professional vocabulary to foreign students takes a prominent place. For foreign students, the Ukrainian language is a means of mastering a profession; hence, they face the task of mastering the terminology of their profession and learning to use it freely and correctly. The article raises the question of studying Ukrainian biological terminology in a foreign language classroom. In particular, the terms arising on the basis of the commonly used language by the method of semantic derivation were analyzed, which presents significant interest for observing the national specificity of the linguistic worldview. It has been established that the use of common words for the nominative needs of the biological field is stipulated by the fact that it is closely related to the life of the people and its terminology is in constant contact with the commonly used vocabulary. The formation of term meanings based on words in general use has a systemic nature. 15 thematic groups of commonly used words that are used to nominate biological concepts are singled out: names of clothes and their parts, names of buildings, premises, structures and their elements, names of household items, decorations and accessories, names of devices, mechanisms, tools and their elements, names of social associations, names related to human activity, names of containers, abstract concepts, geographical objects, names of institutions, substances, names of processes, actions, states, phenomena, and mythological names. The transfer of the name takes place due to certain associative connections. The metaphorical transfer into the biological term system can be premised on associations based on external similarity, similarity of functions, or simultaneous external and functional similarity. Key words: term, biological terminology, Ukrainian language as a foreign, semantic derivation, terminologization, common vocabulary, metaphor.
