Prototypical Models of the Terms Interaction in the Terminological Network

Abstract

The research is devoted to the current cross-disciplinary problem of the knowledge organization for information search intellectualization and knowledge extraction acceleration by means of the specialized software - the expert system. The paper shows that an effective form of knowledge organization in the expert system is the terminological network of subject domain; the network can be structured on the basis of prototypical semantic models of terms interaction which reflect the relations of the concepts designated by terms. The authors reconstruct the fragment of the terminological network of nanotechnologies with the top-term nanoliquid and present it in the article. While analyzing definitions of the terms included into the network and the fragments of scientific publications with terminological units of the analyzed subject domain, the authors define the following semantic categories: Material, Substance, Natural object, Tool, Characteristic, Process. The paper reveals the prototypical models of the terms interaction reflecting the systemic relations between the term "nanoliquid" and its adjacent terms: generic, partitive, attributive, the relations between targeted object and result, between material and process. The article shows that the term "nanoliquid" is introduced in hierarchical classification of the nanostructured materials and has various semantic relations both with terms of one category and with terms of all other semantic categories.

Frame Structure Of Term Systems Within Secondary Encyclopedic Text

“…The scientific term, in contrast to other forms of verbal existence of a scientific conventionalized concept, not only denotes a special concept that already has a definition, it also relates to a system of similar concepts within the framework of well-defined paradigmatic relations, while pseudo-terms, quasi-terms and pre-terms have only relational reflexive connections in the system of scientific knowledge. In a broad sense, terminology, as a specific layer of vocabulary, does not only makes it possible to organize the information and knowledge space by means of systematizing, describing and communicating its components, but also to create conditions for preservation, re-conceptualization and secondary reproduction of existing scientific concepts and for accumulation of new knowledge on the basis of existing one (Latu & Gukosyants, 2019).…”

“…when marking even a minor expert element, it is necessary to predict its understanding and adequate interpretation by a hypothetical recipient. This means that there are special conditions and norms for providing expert information (Latu & Gukosyants, 2019). Thus, it is the frame construction of the terminological field that is dominant when explicating the hierarchy of criteria features of the knowledge component implemented in the scientific text.…”
