Компьютерная лексика в системе языка и её специфика
The specifics of computer terminology in the language system

Summary/Abstract: The paper is devoted to the study of computer terminology in the language system. The problem of correlating terminology with such linguistic realities as term, terminology, common language, the language of science and technology and its relationship with the language for special purposes is revealed. This study traces the process of huge explosion of scientific and technical language elements as a result of technological development in the field of communication and the formation of a computer sublingual system. The definitions of concepts of language for special purposes, term, nomenclature and science of terminology in modern Russian are presented. The theoretical issues associated with the problem of distinguishing between the concepts of nomenclature and science of terminology are described. The idea is substantiated that the totality of terms, formed in the process of the emergence and development of a certain scientific field and serving to express special concepts, is called terminology and it is proved that it forms the basis of language for special purposes. Based on the research, it can be argued that any study of terminological vocabulary is based on its own definition of the term, which is often descriptive or normative in nature. The paper confirms the opinion that the sphere of computer technology and the Internet has had a significant impact on the development of society and has added a huge number of new special words and expressions to modern languages. As a result of the analysis, the author proves that computer terminology operates at two levels: the basic terminological system, which consists mainly of technicalisms and the highly professional slang of users, which consists of English loan words.
