TERMINOLOGY: THE TERM VARIANCE IN THE ENGLISH AND LITHUANIAN SPECIAL LANGUAGE OF ECONOMICS

Summary/Abstract: Terms are special lexical items which occur in a particular discipline. Term variants, often called synonyms, are the linguistic items that differ in form and may have nearly the same meaning as another term words in a special language. Thus a systematic comparison of the English terms of economics with the Lithuanian language searching for term equivalents to designate new phenomena of some particular things in Lithuanian as a consequence often reveals conceptual inconsistencies. Therefore a need for thorough study of specific terms of economics in the native Lithuanian language provides a firm basis for the creation of particularly proper and relevant ones. Accordingly, the process of designation of relevant phenomena causes the emergence of term variants often influenced by English. Attention should be paid to the fact that many term variants may occur in some senses and they can often pose ambiguity from a different perspective. However, a cause of misunderstanding and inaccuracy in using term variants of economics occurs to be problematic when designating the same concept. The paper focuses on the expansion of the terms in the sense of term variants that are produced in the Lithuanian special language of economics.
