VERBS-TERMS FORMED FROM LEXEMES OF OTHER LEXICAL LAYERS IN THE TEXTS OF THE SPECIALTY “ACOUSTICS”

The article describes the results of the analysis of verbal units that are formed from lexemes of other lexical layerscommon and general scientific.The presence of a text corpus, as well as a probabilistic-statistical model (frequency dictionary) of the technical specialty "Acoustics" made it possible to use various methods of analysis.The text corpus was compiled on the basis of scientific articles in the corresponding field of knowledge, taken from journals published in the USA and UK: IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing; The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America; Acoustics Letters; Journal of the Audio Engineering Society; Acustica.The total corpus size is 200 thousand tokens.Verbs are a rather complex part of speech for the analysis of their lexical and semantic features, since they do not depend upon other parts of speech in a sentence and play the role of the core themselves.This determines the use of a large number of complex methods.The main methods for identifying terms of this type were the following: contextual analysis, conducting a survey of specialists in this field of technology, lexicographic studies, methods of linguistic statistics, methods of lexical stratification, etc.The purpose of the article was not only to record the terminologized verbs in texts and then -to form a list including these units, but also to possibly determine the reasons for such a process, which are hidden, perhaps, in the interrelation and interdependence of statistical and lexical characteristics of these verbs.For this purpose, firstly, the frequency of use of verb terms was indicated, which was reflected in the quantitative values of tokens; secondly, lexical groups were identified that covered all verbal units of a given type.As a result of comparisons of statistical and lexical characteristics, it was discovered that there is a fairly high probability of their interaction and interdependence, which may have served as the reason for the process of terminologization of these words.
