Keywords: terminology; vocabulary; language of educatinal books.
Good knowledge of one‘s mother tongue is the feature of a cultured man. However, to introduce language into the process of cultural development of the future engineer efficiently will be possible only if this connection is grasped by those who organize and determine the system of training and education of students.As one may notice the language of educational or teaching publications under discussion is not always good enough: there are inaccurate uses of terms, vocabulary, grammar; style mistakes occur.The language of these publications would improve,if: a) authors and editors used standardized and unified terms given in Lithuanian dictionaries of terms; b) did not use translations of meaning or words as well as word combinations in improper meaning; c) avoided verb adverbial or substantival structures which darken the meaning.

Keywords: economic and information terminology; term; coin a term; borrowing (loan); foreign word; usage; pecularity; equivalent.
The article investigates the pecularities of economic and information terminology and concludes their original source. As economic terms turn out to have appeared earlier than those of information, so the beginning of the emergence of them was influenced by the Greek and Latin languages. During the Soviet period economic terms were under the influence of the Russian language. A lot of information terms originated from the English language so the dominance of this language is still greatly felt. The common language can be considered to be the original source of some of the mentioned terminology when expanding the meaning of adequate terms. Translation of some of the terms creates problems related to the synonymous meaning of the terms or certain variations of the vocabulary meanings.
