Structural-Semantic Features of “Plasma Physics” Terms (on the Basis of a Limited Volume Source - English-Language Academic Paper)
The study aims to determine the structural-semantic features of English-language terms of the “Plasma Physics” subject area, identified in a text of limited volume (an academic paper). The study is novel in that it is the first to carry out a comparative structural-semantic analysis of plasma physics terms of different lengths. The researchers substantiate the idea that a single paper from a scientific journal is a representative source to select terms and form a corpus of terms for a structural-semantic analysis on the basis of the given terms. As a result, the models of terms of different lengths are identified and com-pared in the corpus, their part-of-speech and semantic charge correlates with the data obtained by analys-ing the formal structure of terms of other subject areas, based on the special dictionaries.
