THE ROLE OF MORPHOLOGICAL AND SYNTACTIC DERIVATION IN THE FORMATION OF NEUROLINGUISTIC TERMS

This article analyzes the role of morphological and syntactic derivation in the formation of neurolinguistic terminology. Neurolinguistics is considered an interdisciplinary field that studies the relationship between language and the brain, the manifestation of language units in the human brain, and the neurophysiological foundations of speech activity. Therefore, terms related to this field are formed at the intersection of linguistics, neurology, psychology, neuropsychology, and medical terminology. The study examines morphological methods of derivation such as affixation and composition, as well as syntactic derivation processes arising on the basis of attributive, predicative, and terminological combinations. Using neurolinguistic terms as examples, the structural and semantic features of units such as neurolinguistics, neurolinguistic, aphasia, agrammatism, neuroplasticity, lexical retrieval, semantic processing, syntactic processing, and speech production are revealed. As a result of the analysis, it is substantiated that morphological derivation serves to form new terms in a concise and systematic manner, while syntactic derivation serves to express complex scientific concepts clearly and differentially.
