The paper is devoted to the study of lexical and semantic features of terms in the field of nanotechnology e.k. the study of semantic peculiarities of this terminology is one of the poorly studied issues in modern linguistics. The article examines the degree of presence of such semantic processes as polysemy, homonymy, synonymy in the provided terminology. The paper describes the main sources of origin of the abovementioned semantic processes. It is found that the same lexico-semantic processes and phenomena occur in the sublanguage of nanotechnology as in the general literary language. It is established that such semantic phenomena as intra-system and interdisciplinary homonymy, polysemy, synonymy and antonymy are observed in the terminology under study, and it is proved that ideal terms must have complete semantic neutrality. As a result, the author proves that the nanotechnological terminological vocabulary, in most cases, is neutral and unambiguous, despite the inevitability of the existence of those linguistic processes characteristic of the lexical system of the general literary language. The above phenomena become part of the development of this terminological system. Based on the conducted research, the author suggests the joint work of linguists in the creation of special dictionaries of nanotechnology.

“…van der Waals forces, etc. (Razduev, 2015). Understanding the specificity of knowledge representation in various fields becomes possible by comparing them especially those that are not related, such as the terminology of mediation (MT) that is related to, stems from and shares a lot in common with the terminology of jurisprudence and information technologies terminology (ITT).…”

The purpose of the article is to analyze the phenomenon of terminological metaphorization in the context of the hypothesis that this process is the cognitive basis for transsterminologization in the field of subject terminological nominations. The authors have selected such areas as programming and stock trading as an empirical base. To solve the research issues, the authors used the following general scientific and linguistic methods: descriptive method, method of definition analysis, method of continuous selection. The selection of 78 metaphorical terms of software development and exchange trading selected by the method of continuous selection from the total corpus of 2870 analyzed terms has served as the material for the research. The analysis has shown that a significant number of terms in the areas of programming and exchange trading are formed on the basis of metaphorical transfer. Subject terminological nominations designating certain fragments of the professional picture of the world has moved into this area without changing their form (simple terms) and served as the basis for the construction of derived term combinations based on a metaphorical transfer in new subject areas. The transition of a term to a different field of knowledge is conditioned by an analogy in the description of the phenomenon, or an analogy in the structure of the term, in its stylistic properties, in the functional and lexical meaning of the words that make up the term. The process of transsterminologization appears as a multi-stage and multidimensional phenomenon, which includes both the discursive use of the term, and its formal and semantic-stylistic characteristics. In general, the process of metaphorization plays an important role in term formation. The properties of metaphors suggest that the metaphor should be considered within the framework of an anthropocentric approach with the help of the cognitive-linguistic analysis.
