КОЛОРАТИВНАЯ ЛЕКСИКА КАК ТЕРМИНООБРАЗУЮЩИЙ КОМПОНЕНТ В СОСТАВЕ МЕТАФОРИЗИРОВАННЫХ ТЕРМИНОВ(на примере прилагательного «золотой»)

Abstract

The article deals with the peculiarities of the structural-semantic content of the colorative «golden» in the composition of terminological combinations formed by means of their metaphorical reinterpretation. On the example of the adjective «golden» the main forms of transformations and expansion of the semantic field of the investigated colorative lexicon are studied, the fundamental criteria of changes in the conceptual structure of phraseological terms are generalized and revealed.  The article uses specific examples to study the motivation for choosing a nominative unit as the main component of a compound term, the term-forming role of colorative in the process of terminologization of a free combination and its further formation as a phraseologized term. Special attention is paid to the cause-and-effect relations of the change of the denotative content of coloratives in the transition from one sphere to another, the variability between primary and secondary meanings, and the semantics of these coloratives in the context of the terminological system. The authors carried out lexical and semantic analysis of the denotative meaning of the mentioned terms-phraseologisms, as well as contextual and semantic analysis of their definitions. On the basis of complex analysis it is shown that the colorative «golden» in the composition of the metaphorized term is a key component, which in combination with another lexical unit participates in the process of conceptualization of new knowledge, its verbalization and introduction into a new communicative space. The frequent use of the colorative «golden» in the meta-language of science leads to the conclusion that this lexeme has a high degree of potentiality as a term-forming component in the composition of complex terms.
