Juxtaposed Terms in the Processes of Concept Nomination in the Field of Museology

One of the important areas in terminology is the study of methods for creating new terms, as the analysis of term formation contributes to the systematization and harmonization of terminological systems. A productive method for creating terminological innovations in many languages is base-compounding (or composition) and word-compounding (or juxtaposition). In the modern terminological system of museology, juxtaposition represents a semantically and grammatically independent, full-fledged class of linguistic units that perform a nominative function. The article addresses the functioning of juxtaposed terms in the Ukrainian terminological system of museology. It examines the specifics of term formation through word-compounding and identifies the productive types of juxtaposition in the studied terminological system. A significant portion of these formations includes the following components: 1) museum: museum-workshop, museum-palace, museum-monument; 2) bulletin: bulletin-table, bulletin-chronicle; 3) library: library-depository; 4) hall: hall-epoch, hall-interior, hall-culture, etc. The quantitative relationship of juxtaposed terms from the lexical-thematic groups of museology was determined.
