Latin borrowings in the Russian language Zubenko I.V., Masneva I.E., Skokova N.N. What words in Russian come from Latin words

medical term borrowed from Latin

In Russia, Latin became widespread with the reforms of Peter I. At first, it was used exclusively by scientists, diplomats and lawyers, but gradually Latin was Russified and became understandable to wider layers of society, and many Latin words firmly entered the Russian language and took root: literature, architecture, fashion, notary, lawyer and many other words are no longer perceived as foreign.

In modern society, Latin is extremely necessary not only for doctors, but also for entrepreneurs, lawyers, barristers and representatives of other professions. Persona non grata, status quo, terra incognita - this is just a tiny part of those Latin expressions and catchphrases that we come across almost every day. Moreover, without minimal knowledge of the Latin language, without understanding well-known Latin expressions, proverbs and catchphrases, it is no longer possible to imagine a modern intelligent person.

The original Russian medical vocabulary is rooted in the common Indo-European base language and the common Slavic base language, on the basis of which in the 7th - 8th centuries. the Old Russian language arose. Writing appeared in Rus' in the middle of the 10th century. in the form of Old Church Slavonic (Church Slavonic) language.

It is possible that the original custodians of medical knowledge among the ancient Slavic tribes, like many other peoples, were the magician priests. The common Slavic word Doctor, which has a common root with the words “grumble”, “speak”, originally meant a sorcerer, sorcerer, fortune-teller, soothsayer, who heals with charms, incantations and incantations. From the depths of centuries, words have come down to us, attested in ancient Russian handwritten monuments, belonging to the common Slavic layer: thigh (diminutive “thigh, tibia”; hence “tibia”), thorn, side, eyebrow, hair, vospa (smallpox), head, throat , breast, hernia, lip, tooth, face, forehead, urine, nose, nail, fetus, kidney, cancer, hand, spleen, heart, crown, ear, etc.

We can consider Old Russian words that are common to the Church Slavonic and Old Russian languages, as well as words that belonged to one of them, but were firmly included in the Russian literary language, for example: pregnant, infertility, twins, illness, pain, sick, pus, shin, larynx, thirst, stomach, bile, conception, health, vision, intestines, skin, bone, medicine, medicinal, treatment, treat, brain, callus, muscle, nostril, smell, touch, swelling, poisoning, groin, liver, hymen, shoulder, sole, lower back, navel, erysipelas, mouth, cramp, body, jaw, skull, neck, ulcer, etc. Modern terminology includes such ancient names as nuchal ligament1, duodenum, epigastrium (the Church Slavonic and Old Russian word “neck” referred to neck, and the Church Slavonic words “finger” and “belly” meant “finger” and “stomach” respectively).

Many ancient Russian names of diseases and their symptoms have long gone out of use, and identifying them with modern terms is difficult. Such names include, for example, asthma (asthma), goldenrod (jaundice), kamchyug (arthritis), bloody womb (dysentery), epileptic illness (epilepsy), burning stomach (anthrax), leprosy (leprosy, lupus and some other lesions). skin), itching (scabies), shaking (malaria).

Some of the ancient Russian words used in the modern medical dictionary have changed their meaning. So, for example, the word “callus” in ancient times meant enlarged lymph nodes or an ulcer, the word “joint” meant a part of the body or an organ, as well as a joint in the modern sense, the word “gland” could mean a tumor (“gland merli People"). The Old Russian word “belly” had several meanings: life, property, animal. The word “eye”, which originally meant “ball (shiny)”, was used only in the 16th-17th centuries. acquired modern meaning along with its synonym - the common Slavic word “eye” and finally supplanted the latter only in the 18th century. In the literary monuments of the 16th century. The word “back” first appears as a synonym for the ancient word “ridge” in the monuments of the 17th century. - the word “lungs” instead of the ancient name “ivies”, the word “cough” appears for the first time.

Many original Russian names that existed in the language of Old Russian empirical medicine and were recorded in all kinds of “Healing books”, “Herbal books” and “Vertograds”, did not survive in the language of scientific medicine and gave way to other names, most often of Greek-Latin origin.

Greekisms of anatomical and physiological content are found sporadically already in the early monuments of ancient Russian writing. The penetration of Greekisms after the adoption of Christianity by Russia (10th century) was facilitated both by direct contacts with Byzantium and its culture, and by the growth in the number of translated Church Slavonic works. The latter were often compilations of passages from the works of Aristotle, Hippocrates, Galen and Byzantine doctors.

Latin vocabulary was also initially borrowed through the Greek-Byzantine medium, although to an extremely insignificant extent. It began to actively penetrate into the XV-XVI centuries. thanks to the Polish language. In the 17th century In connection with the progress of enlightenment in Ukraine, Latinisms began to be borrowed directly from works in Latin. Perhaps the very first of these works, Vesalius’s “Epitome,” which is the author’s brief extract from the work “On the Structure of the Human Body,” was translated in 1657-1658. prominent Russian enlightener Epiphanius Slavinetsky. It is assumed that the translation was supposed to serve as a textbook on anatomy for students of the school of Russian doctors, allegedly opened in 1654-1655. under the Pharmacy Order. Although the translation of E. Slavinetsky is lost, it can be assumed on the basis of his other work, “The Complete Greek-Slavic-Latin Lexicon,” that he created certain prerequisites for mastering the terminology of Western European medicine of that era. E. Slavinetsky used only two methods of translating terms - the use of original Russian equivalents and tracing [for example, he translated the term polyphagia (from the Greek poly- many and phagein) with the word “multiple eating”] and almost did not use borrowings.

A significant step in the comprehension and mastery of Greek-Latin vocabulary by Russians, including medical content, was made by a remarkable lexicographer of the early 18th century. F.P. Polikarpov. His “Trilingual Lexicon, that is, Slavic, Hellenic-Greek and Latin treasures” (1704), consisting of 19,712 articles, contains a significant number of names of diseases and medicinal herbs in Greek, Latin and Russian. The large number of synonyms he cites indicates a wide range of literary medical sources used. Each article begins with a Russian name, which most often represents either a Russian equivalent (stone disease, smallpox, erysipelas, okovrach or ochnik, etc.), or a descriptive designation; Borrowings and Latinisms (apoplexy, dysentery, doctor, etc.) are used less frequently.

After the first graduations of the Greco-Latin Academy, in 1658 in Moscow, classicism began to be borrowed directly from the works of ancient authors and on a much wider scale than before. Particular attention was paid to teaching scientific anatomical and surgical terminology in Latin at the First Hospital School, established in 1707 on the orders of Peter I and led by N. Bidloo.

During the Peter the Great era and after it, throughout the entire 18th century, hundreds of scientific Latinisms were poured into the actively developing Russian literary language, both directly from Latin works and through Western European languages. At the beginning of the 18th century. The following words are widely used: medic, medicine, medicine, medicine, pill, pharmacist, recipe, sangva (Latin sanguis blood), urine (Latin urina urine), febra (Latin febris fever). In the middle of the 18th century. the words abscess, ampulla, amputation, tonsillitis, vein, consultation, constitution, contusion, muscle, nerve, ophthalmologist, patient, dissector, pulse, respiration (breathing), retina, relapse, section, scalpel, scurvy appear in the literature, temperament, fiber (vein), fistula, etc.

M.V. made a huge contribution to the substantiation of principles and the development of Russian scientific terminology. Lomonosov (1711--1765). A brilliant expert on classical languages, he repeatedly emphasized their importance for the needs of education and for the progress of terminology in Russia. M.V. Lomonosov took part in the review of the first anatomical atlas, translated from German by A.P. Protasov (1724-1796), who laid the foundations of scientific anatomical terminology in Russian.

Russian doctors-translators of the 18th century. belongs to the creation of Russian scientific medical terminology. It was truly a feat of scholarship and patriotism. Russian translators had to overcome significant difficulties in conveying by means of their native language the names of abstract concepts developed by Western European languages, including the classicisms and neoclassicisms mastered by the latter.

The shortcomings of terminology were especially acutely felt by Russian medical teachers. Teaching medical disciplines in Russian was possible only if domestic terminology was developed. Therefore, many outstanding Russian doctors became both translators and philologists. Among them, first of all, we should mention the chief physician of the St. Petersburg Admiralty Hospital M.I. Shein (1712-1762), who created the earliest summary of Russian anatomical terms in Russian literature.

Translators were able to cope more easily with the names of diseases and symptoms, because for them there were often equivalent designations that existed in the language of traditional medicine. The situation with scientific anatomy was more difficult, since many anatomical formations, for example, pleura, pancreas, trochanter, did not have Russian names at all. In such cases, descriptive compound terms were often created instead of a single Latin (or Latinized Greek) word. So, M.I. Shein created the Russian equivalent for the word diaphragma, “abdominal obstruction.” Along with this, translators resorted to tracing. A.P. Protasov introduced the name Clavicle, which is a tracing paper from the Latin word clavicula (from clavis key).

In the process of formation of domestic terminology, there was almost not a single foreign language term for which several equivalents in Russian were not proposed by different authors. Not all of them have stood the test of time and have been replaced by terms of Greco-Latin origin, including neologisms.

The first dictionaries of medical terms in Latin, Russian and French were compiled by the first Russian professor of “midwifery art” N.M. Ambodik-Maksimovich (1744-1812). In 1783, his “Anatomical and Physiological Dictionary” was published, containing about 4000 titles, and Russian ones were extracted, according to the author, “from various printed, church and civil, also new, old and handwritten books”, and also represented “his own handmade” work. The next issue - "Medical-Pathological-Surgical Dictionary" (1785) - collected "the names of diseases and their symptoms in the human body, as well as devices, operations, dressings used in surgery to perform certain manipulations."

Russian medical vocabulary was presented in the first academic dictionary of the Russian language - “Dictionary of the Russian Academy” (1789-1794) - with more than 600 words. Folk common Russian names were included, as well as borrowed scientific terms of Greek-Latin origin. The words were accompanied by very complete, carefully worded definitions. The medical part of the dictionary was compiled by leading Russian scientific doctors A.P. Protasov and N.Ya. Ozertskovsky (1750--1827). In this dictionary, in particular, the term Inflammation was first recorded, created by Shein in 1761 as a tracing paper from the Latin word inflammatio (from inflammo to set fire, set on fire, ignite).

A major contribution to the creation of Russian anatomical terminology was made by the founder of the Russian anatomical school P.A. Zagorsky (1764-1846), who wrote the first Russian anatomy textbook (1802), where he introduced Russian equivalents of a number of Latin terms. E.O. was heavily involved in the development of domestic anatomical terminology. Mukhin (1766-1850), who also created an anatomy course in Russian.

The “Medical Dictionary” compiled in 1835 by A.N. can be considered a qualitatively new stage in lexicographic processing, clarification and systematization of the rapidly growing Russian medical terminology. Nikitin - founder and first secretary of the Society of Russian Doctors of St. Petersburg. This was the first medical dictionary in Russia in which terms were interpreted. Medical community of the first half of the 19th century. highly appreciated Nikitin’s work “for his deep knowledge of the Russian language and extensive acquaintance with Russian medical literature,” which made it possible “to present the nomenclature fully assembled without innovations and in such a form that henceforth it could serve as a model of Russian medical terminology.”

Throughout the 19th century. Russian medical vocabulary continued to be actively replenished with terms that had an international distribution, the predominant mass of which were classicisms and neoclassicisms, for example Abortion, alveolus (Alveolus of the lung), Ambulatory, Bacillus, Vaccine, hallucination (Hallucinations), Dentin, Immunization, Immunity, Heart attack, Infection, Cavern, Carbuncle, Lymph, Percussion, Pulp, Reflex, Exudate, etc., preserved to this day.

At the same time, among Russian doctors there were also extreme purists who objected to borrowings and neologisms, defending the original Russian common vocabulary, which they endowed with a special medical meaning. This point of view was held, in particular, by V.I. Dal (1801-1872) - doctor by profession, creator of the “Explanatory Dictionary of the Living Great Russian Language”. However, none of the replacements he proposed remained in the language of Russian medicine.

Most Russian doctors defended terms that were well established in professional usage, regardless of whether they were internationalisms of Greco-Latin origin or their Russian equivalents. They also realized the importance of preserving the Latin termini technici, i.e. standard, international not only in meaning, but also in form, according to the Latin transcription of names. In 1892--1893 The Encyclopedic Medical Dictionary by A. Vilare was published in translation from German. The preface to the Russian edition of the dictionary stated that “over the past decades, Russian medical terminology has developed significantly and strengthened among practical doctors, however, it is not yet at such a height that it excludes the use of Latin names.” It defended the advantage of the Latin terms generally accepted at that time such as auto?digestio, abrachia, acromegalia, epilepsia, and expressed an objection to the corresponding Russian names “self-digestion”, “armless”, “giant growth”, “eppileptic”, etc. It is interesting that the further fate of these terms turned out to be different: Self-digestion, and not autodigestio, was fixed in the language, and the remaining terms were preserved in the form of borrowing, without being accompanied by Russian equivalents (Abrachia, Acromegaly, Epilepsy).

Modern Russian medical terminology, based on linguistic origin, forms of writing, functions performed at the national or international levels, can be divided into the following main groups:

  • 1) original Russian names;
  • 2) borrowed classicisms, assimilated to varying degrees, adapted to the sound and morphological system of the Russian literary language; the overwhelming majority of them actually perform the function of internationalisms, i.e. terms that have received cross-linguistic distribution in at least three languages ​​from different language groups (for example, in Latin, French, English, German, Russian, etc.);
  • 3) original Western Europeanisms, which actually perform the function of internationalisms;
  • 4) Latin termini technici.

In the second half of the 20th century. medical vocabulary continues to be enriched with internationalisms. In modern Russian medical terminology, internationalisms and their Russian equivalents (including tracings of a foreign language term) act as synonyms. In some cases, the Russian equivalent is preferably used, for example, Lice instead of pediculosis (Pediculosis), Prurigo instead of Prurigo, Ossification instead of Ossification, Diarrhea instead of Diarrhea, Dwarfism instead of Dwarfism, Incarceration instead of Incarceration, Eversion of the eyelid instead of Ectropion. In other cases, internationalisms are preferred, such as Puncture rather than Puncture, Malignancy rather than Malignancy, Favus rather than Scab, Palpation rather than Palpation, Enucleation rather than Enucleation, Gynecophobia rather than Misogyny. In many of the above cases, the preferred use of a borrowed word is explained by the fact that its Russian equivalent is also used in the general literary language in a broader or different meaning. Sometimes the Russian equivalent gives way to internationalism, since it is easier to form derivative words from the latter, for example Placenta (placental) - Children's place. Often such synonyms are practically equal, for example: Bleeding, Hemorrhage and Hemorrhage (hemorrhagic), Myopia and Myopia (myopic), pancreas and pancreas (pancreatic), Blood transfusion and Hemotransfusion (hemotransfusion).

Many terms of Greco-Latin origin, including neoclassicisms, penetrate into Russian terminology through Western European languages. Often they were able to gain the actual status of internationalisms, appearing almost simultaneously in two or more languages, and it is often difficult or impossible to find out in which Western European language a particular term, marked with the stamp of classical or neoclassical origin, first appeared. Many terms, having originally appeared in English, French or German linguistic form, undergo simultaneous or subsequent formal romanization; however, this process can also develop in the opposite direction: from a term Latinized in form to its nationally adapted analogue.

Sometimes a clear indication that classicism or neoclassicism was borrowed through Western European languages ​​is provided by phonetic features that are not characteristic of classical languages. Thus, the presence in some words of the sound [w], which was absent in classical languages, indicates that the word was borrowed from German (Sciatica, neoclassicisms Schizophrenia, schizothymia, etc.). Under the influence of the phonetic system of the French language, the term Senestopathie (French cеnestopathie) arose, derived from the Greek words koinos (general), aisthзsis (sensation, feeling) and pathos (suffering, disease).

Under the influence of Western European languages, in some Latinized words of Greek origin the sound [c] that was absent in the Greek language appeared, for example: Cyst (Latin cysta, from Greek kystis), Cyanosis (Latin cyanosis, from Greek kyanфsis).

The artificial (neoclassical) nature of a number of terms is indicated by the components of different languages, mainly Greek and Latin; for example: Vagotomy (Latin anat. nervus vagus vagus nerve + Greek tomz incision), Coronary sclerosis (Lat. anat. arteria coronaria coronary artery + Greek sklзrфsis hardening, sclerosis), Rectoscopy (Latin rectum rectum + Greek skopef to consider , research). “Hybrids” are formed similarly: Appendicitis, Gingivitis, Duodenitis, Conjunctivitis, Retinitis, Tonsillitis, etc. (to the Latin anatomical terms appendix - appendage, gingiva - gum, duodenum - duodenum, conjunctiva - connective membrane of the eye, retina - retina, tonsilla - tonsil, added the Greek suffix -itis, used to denote inflammation). The Greek prefixes Hyper-, Hypo-, Peri- and others are often combined with the Latin base: hyperfunction, hypotension, perivisceral, perivascular. There are also Greek-Russian “hybrids”: Allochondrium, leukovsus, Rechegramma, etc.

Such “hybridization” is quite natural within the framework of medical and biological terminology, where Greek and Latin roots and word-forming elements have grown into the fabric of national languages ​​over many centuries and formed an international foundation in them. Therefore, the “hybrid” word “acidophilic” (Latin acidus sour + Greek philos loving, inclined) is just as legitimate as the monolingual word “thermophilic” (Greek thermos heat, warmth + Greek philos).

Original Western Europeanisms, i.e. There are relatively few words that arose from the lexical and word-formation material of Western European languages ​​in Russian medical vocabulary. Their active implementation has been noted only since the end of the 19th century. and especially in the 20th century. They are presented mainly in terminology related to medical technology, surgical techniques, genetics, physiology, hygiene, and are much less common in the nomenclature of diseases. Thus, Anglicisms include, for example, Attachment, Blockade, Doping, Inbreeding, Clearance, Crossingover, Pacemaker, Site, shunt (arteriovenous shunt) and “hybrid” terms Aerotank, dumping syndrome, rant disease (Runt disease), Westing- syndrome. Borrowings from the French language include, for example, Absence, Midwife, Bandage, Bougie, Influenza, Drainage, Probe, Cannula, Whooping Cough, Cretinism, Curette, Patronage, Pipette, Raspator, Tampon, Teak, Yaws, Chancre, the “hybrid” term Culdoscopy . Examples of borrowings from the German language include boron (dental boron), Bugel, Klammer, Kornzang, Resort, Reiters, Spatel, Shub, “hybrid” words Abortzang, Rausch-narcosis, etc.

Some nosological terms of Italian origin have become internationalisms: Influenza, Malaria, Pellagra, Scarlet fever. The term Sigwaterra comes from the Spanish language, and Croup from the Scottish language.

There are individual words borrowed from Eastern and African languages: the Japanese word Tsutsugamushi, the African tribal word - Kwashiorkor, the Sinhala word - Beriberi. Sex therapists use some words of ancient Indian origin, for example, Vikharita, Virghata, Kumbitmaka, Narvasadata. The names of some medicinal substances were borrowed from the tribal languages ​​of the American Indians: ipecac, curare, quinine.

A traditional feature of medical and biological terminology continues to be the use of termini technici - terms graphically and grammatically designed in Latin. The identity of their understanding by different specialists in all countries makes termini technici an indispensable means of internationalizing terminology.

Large groups of termini technici are united in modern international nomenclatures and have an officially approved international status. These include nomenclatures of morphological and biological disciplines: anatomical, histological and embryological nomenclatures, codes of botanical and zoological nomenclature and a code of bacterial nomenclature. In the International Pharmacopoeia, the Latin name of the drug is indicated as the main, reference name.

Termini technici have a different status, relating to the dictionary of clinical medicine, denoting diseases, pathological conditions, symptoms, syndromes, etc. In most cases, they actually perform the function of international designations, but their use is optional. The “International Classification of Diseases, Injuries and Causes of Death” does not contain international Latin names as mandatory. In the USSR, most of these termini technici are used only in conjunction with their Russian equivalents, for example Hernia, Urticaria, Herpes Zoster, Cholecystitis. At the same time, some termini technici of this type are used in domestic medical terminology as preferred terms. These include, for example, Caries sicca, Carcinoma in situ, Partus conduplicato corpore, Situs viscerum inversus, Spina bifida, Status typhosus, Tabes dorsalis, plow vara (Coxa vara).

Latin is the language of Ancient Rome (VI century BC – 5th century AD).

The overwhelming majority of Latin words began to penetrate into Old Russian, and then into Russian, when Latin was already a dead language. They entered through intermediary languages, first through Old Church Slavonic, then through Polish, German, French, etc.

Among the words of Latin origin there are many scientific and political terms, in general words associated with “scientific” pursuits: aboriginal, abstraction, lawyer, axiom, alibi, audience, affix, vacuum, vein, deduction, dean, dictatorship, inertia, colleague, cone, conference, meridian, perpendicular, proportion, radius, rector, review, formula, constitution, manifesto, memorandum, plenum, revolution, republic, referendum, faction, etc. Words from other thematic groups: intelligentsia, chancellery, cooperation, culture, course, laureate , literature, maximum, minimum, motor, nation, innovator, revision, center, instance, etc.

Many proper personal names come from Latin: August, Anton, Valentin, Valery, Victor, Ignatius, Innocent, Claudia, Konstantin, Maxim, Marina, Natalia, Pavel, Roman, Sergei, Felix, Julius, etc.

Signs of Latin words - final - e nt, -tor, -um, -ur (a), -yc *, -tion, etc.: document, docent, incident, monument, ferment; author, speaker, doctor, innovator, rector, equator; quorum, consultation, memorandum, opium, plenum, presidium, forum; reinforcement, dictatorship, censorship, etc.; degree, consensus, cone, corpus, sinus, status, tone; diction, intelligentsia, constitution, nation, reaction, section, faction, etc.

Greco-Latin borrowings in

Russian language

The article discusses Greek-Latin borrowings in the Russian language. Words of Greek and Latin origin are relevant for modern discourse, as they serve as nominations of political, economic, legal and other realities that arouse increased interest among native speakers.

Key words: language, words, borrowings, vocabulary, terminology

words borrowed from Greek and Latin

in the Russian language

The article studies words from Greek and Latin in the Russian language. Greek and Latin borrowed words are typical of modern discourse as they name political, economical, juridical and other phenomena, which arouse native speakers" interest.

Key words: language, words, borrowed words, vocabulary, terminology

Since ancient times, the Russian people have entered into cultural, trade, military, and political ties with other states, which could not but lead to linguistic borrowings. In the process of use, most of them were influenced by the borrowing language. Gradually, borrowed words, assimilated (from Latin assimilare - “to assimilate, liken”) by the borrowing language, became among the words in common use and were no longer perceived as foreign. At different times, words from other languages ​​penetrated into the original language. Currently, words such as sugar, beets, banya and others are considered Russian, although they were borrowed from the Greek language. Such words as school (from Latin through Polish), pencil (from Turkic languages), suit (from French) and many others have also become completely Russified. The national identity of the Russian language has not suffered at all from the penetration of foreign words into it, since borrowing - a completely natural way to enrich any language. The role of Latin borrowings in the formation and development of the cultural and historical layer of words is generally recognized in both Russian and foreign linguistics. Latinisms are the basis of the terminological fund of many languages. Words of Latin origin are also relevant for modern discourse, since they serve as nominations of political, economic, legal and other realities that arouse increased interest among native speakers.

The borrowing of foreign words by the Russian language in different eras reflects the history of the people. New words poured into the Russian language from other languages ​​as a result of economic, political and cultural ties between the Slavs and other peoples, as a result of the introduction into life of realities that were new to Russia, but already had names in other languages.

the most significant influence on the language of Ancient Rus' was the influence of the Greek language -

ka. Kievan Rus conducted a lively trade with Byzantium, and the penetration of Greek elements into Russian vocabulary began even before the adoption of Christianity in Rus' (VI century) and intensified under the influence of Christian culture in connection with the baptism of the Kievites (IX century) and the spread of liturgical books translated from Greek into Old Church Slavonic. Foreign words, entering the Russian language, are gradually assimilated by it: they adapt to its sound system, obey the rules of Russian word formation and inflection, to one degree or another losing the features of their non-Russian origin.

Borrowings from the Greek language began to penetrate into the original vocabulary during the period of pan-Slavic unity. Such borrowings include, for example, the words chamber, dish, cross, bread (baked), bed, cauldron, etc. Borrowings were significant in the period from the 9th to the 11th centuries. and later (the so-called East Slavic).

Among the borrowings from the Greek language, the most significant is the richly developed terminological system. Term - “(from Latin terminus - “border, limit”) a word or phrase that is the name of a special concept of any sphere of production, science or art” [Russian language...1979: 349]. The term has such features as consistency, the presence of a definition, a tendency towards monosemy, lack of expression, and stylistic neutrality. Terms are words in a special function, therefore words and terms are functionally differentiated. The nominative function of commonly used words differs from the nominative function of a term primarily in that the meaning of the term is strictly conceptual, i.e. informs about the concept, participates in the formation of the concept. The term, unlike commonly used words, is limited in the manifestation of syntagmatic properties. Word formation

Vocalistic means are used selectively in the formation of a term, and means that can give words an emotional and expressive coloring are not characteristic of the terminological system. The nominative function in terminology uses the properties of commonly used words in the national language.

Terminological vocabulary includes words or phrases used for a logically precise definition of special concepts or objects in any field of science, technology, agriculture, art, etc. Unlike common words, which can have multiple meanings, terms within a particular science are usually unambiguous. They are characterized by a clearly limited, motivated specialization of meaning. Greek borrowings, which have become words-terms, cover almost all areas of science and art. These include the following concepts:

Names of sciences: anatomy, biology, botany, grammar, geometry, geography, dialectology, zoology, history, logic, mathematics, mechanics, onomastics, optics, pedagogy, physics, philology, philosophy, etc.

Linguistics (alphabet, aphorism, diacritic, dialect, dialogue, calligraphy, catalogue, lexeme, lexicon, lexicology, morphology, spelling, spelling, philology, phonetics, phraseology, syntax, etc.);

Literary studies (acmeism, anapest, hyperbole, dialogue, drama, comedy, lyric poetry, metaphor, monologue, ode, poetry, prologue, stanza, tragedy, trochee, reader, epigram, epigraph, epic, etc.).

Market terminology (acceptance, analogy, basis, dividend, identification, index, mortgage, oligopoly, oligarchy, oligopsony, ochlocracy, panic, paradox, parameter, policy, system, tactics, strategy, charisma, homologation, cycle).

The development of science and technology, the emergence of new branches of technology, is always accompanied by the abundant appearance of new terms. An international fund of scientific terminology is being created, which has been mastered by many European languages, including Russian. Scientific terms are often created from Greek roots, denoting concepts that were not yet known in the era.

xy of antiquity: cosmonaut (gr. kosmos - “Universe” + gr. nautes - (sea) - “swimmer”).

Terminology is one of the most mobile, fast-growing and rapidly changing parts of the national vocabulary (cf. just some of the names of new sciences and branches of production: automation, allergology, aeronomy, biocybernetics, bionics, hydroponics, holography, cardiac surgery, cosmobiology, plasma chemistry, speleology, ergonomics etc.).

The wide dissemination of scientific and technical terminology, its penetration into various spheres of life leads to the fact that in the language, along with the process of terminology of commonly used words, there is also a reverse process - the mastery of terms in the literary language, i.e. their determinologization. For example, the frequent use of philosophical, art, literary, physical, chemical, medical, industrial and many other terms has made them words in common use, for example: anatomy, analysis, diagnosis, dialectics, etc. Often, when found in the context of common words, the terms are metaphorized and lose their special purpose, for example: the anatomy of love, the geography of heroism, sclerosis of conscience.

Borrowings from the Latin language began to penetrate into the Russian language in Peter's time and played a significant role in enriching the vocabulary, especially in the field of scientific, technical, social and political terminology. Most Latin words came into the Russian language in the period from the 16th to the 18th centuries, especially through the Polish and Ukrainian languages, for example: school, auditorium, dean, office, vacation, director, dictation, exam, etc. Many words of Latin origin make up the group international fund of terms, for example: dictatorship, declaration, constitution, corporation, laboratory, meridian, maximum, minimum, proletariat, process, public, revolution, republic, erudition, etc.

Borrowings from the Latin language include the following:

Aviation (avis - bird), aviator, aviation, etc.;

Watercolor (aqua - water), aquarium, water area, scuba, etc.;

Antique (antiquus - ancient), antiques, etc.;

Arena (arena - area, sand);

Auditor (audio - listen), audience, audience, etc.;

Vacancy (vaco - to be free);

Fan (ventus - wind), ventilation, etc.;

Verbal (verbum - word, verb);

Visit (visito - to visit), visa, etc.;

Vitamin (vita - life), vitalism, vital, etc.;

Vocal (vocalis - calls, vowels);

Herbarium (herba - grass);

Student (studeo - study hard), studio, study, etc.;

Table (tabula - board, table), time sheet, scoreboard, etc.;

Compasses (circus - circle, circus), circulation, circus, etc.;

Lawyer (jus - law, court), jurisprudence, justice, etc. [Dictionary of Foreign Words, 1986].

Among Greek borrowings, a large group consists of words denoting minerals. Each mineral has its own biography. There are more than a hundred minerals, which were named in Greek for their amazing color and unique properties. This group includes the following definitions: diamond, amethyst, barite, beryllium, hematite, dioptase, emerald, calcite, malachite, pyrite, rhodochrosite, sphalerite, chrysocolla, etc. [Dictionary of Foreign Words, 1986]. Let us consider the etymology of some of the most interesting, in our opinion, names of minerals.

Diamond is a mineral whose name comes from the Greek adamas - “invincible, indestructible” [ShanskiI 1971:

25], the most wear-resistant, expensive, rare stone; usually colorless or painted in pale shades of yellow, brown, gray, green, pink, and very rarely black.

There is a whole legend associated with the name of hyacinth. The word is derived from the Greek gia-kinthos. It is believed that this mineral got its name from the hyacinth flower, with which the Greeks associated a legend about a beautiful young man - the son of the Spartan king Ebal, the favorite of the radiant god Apollo. One day Apollo threw a heavy disk towards the clouds. Hyacinth rushed to the place where this disk was supposed to fall, wanting to prove to his divine friend that he was not inferior to him in the art of throwing. But the god of the west wind, Zephyr, became inflamed with jealousy of the young man’s beauty and directed the disk directly at his head, mortally wounding him. Shocked by grief, Apollo grew a fragrant flower from his blood in memory of hyacinth [Milyukova, Maralieva 2007: 220].

Emerald is a talisman of mothers and sailors. Pregnant women wore emerald amulets, which after the birth of the child were immediately hung in his cradle. it gives joy and fun, spiritual harmony and hope, victory in battle, tact and generosity, talent and grace, eloquence without a shadow of falsehood and self-esteem, insight. he even bestows the ability of foresight.

Malachite is a rare gemstone, it was used for small objects and exquisite jewelry, and its name comes from the Greek malakhe - “mallow”. By the end of the 18th century. With increasing production, malachite is used for larger interior items: vases, boxes, tabletops. they are decorated with thin plates of malachite.

In the old days, turquoise was often replaced with an equally brightly colored blue mineral - chrysocolla. Its name is derived from the Greek words chrysos - “gold” and ^¡¡a - “glue” [Dictionary of Foreign Words, 1986: 550].

Thus, the word chrysocolla can be translated as “golden glue” (it is said that this mineral was used in ancient times for soldering gold). Chrysocolla received its other ancient name - Elat stone - from the mines of the legendary King Solomon, located near the Gulf of Elat in the Red Sea and the city of the same name, where in ancient times it was mined in fair quantities [Milyukova, Maralieva 2007: 221].

An interesting area of ​​loanwords are names of Greek and Latin origin. The union of the Kyiv prince Vladimir with Byzantium in the 10th century. and the adoption of Christianity in Rus' inherited the names of Greek and Latin saints and entailed the naming of people with new Christian (calendar) names. All names of Russian people, “both pagan and Christian, were artificial and reflected the names of the everyday language” [Superanskaya 1962: 47]. For example, the name Evstolia translated from Greek means “well dressed”, Catherine - “purity”, “decency”, Alexander - “protector of people”, Alexey - “defender”, Irina

- “peace”, Evgeny - “noble”, Ksenia - “wanderer, foreigner”, Nikolai

- “victorious people”, Galina - “silence, calmness”, and many others. Greek proper names also include such male and female names as Vasily, George, Zinovy, Hilarion, Plato, Stefan; Aglaya, Agrafena, Anastasia, Evdokia, Elena, Zinaida, Taisiya and others.

The following names came from the Latin language to the Russian language:

Augusta - sacred: an honorary title for the wife, mother, sister and daughter of the Roman emperor);

Aurora is the name of the goddess of the dawn;

Agnes - pure, immaculate;

Agrippina - derived from the Roman rho-

venerable name Agrippa;

Akulina - eagle-like, eagle-like; Virinea - green, portable. fresh, cheerful;

Dementius is a Roman generic name from domo - to tame;

Prov - honest;

Roman - Roman, Roman and many

others [Superanskaya 1962: 56].

Thus, Greekisms and Latinisms are an integral part of the Russian language picture of the world, they are closely related to many of its other elements and act as elementary units of cognitive processes, forming the worldview of a native speaker.
