Two-Word Construction Terms with the Secondary Component Expressed by a Compound Adjective

Summary/Abstract: The scope of using compound adjectives in the terminology of different fields is uneven. As illustrated by quantitative data, they are rather widely used in coining specific two-word terms in the field of construction. The article discusses the relations between the twentieth–twenty-first-century compound adjectives as terminological attributes and the main component of two-word construction terms in respect of the idea conveyed by them: the lexical-relational meanings of compound adjectives are identified. Their word-formation structure, through which the meanings are conveyed, is reviewed as well. The study revealed that twelve lexical-relational meanings are inherent in the compound adjectives used as secondary components of construction terms, and they are formed under ten word-formation patterns. Construction terminology is dominated by compound adjectives designating the distinctive feature of the denotatum expressed by the main component in terms of composition, a property of form, a part of the distinctive fastener, and the distinctive part.
