ARCHITECTURE AND CONSTRUCTION GERMAN-LANGUAGE TERMINOLOGY THESAURUS MODELIING

Abstract

The article is devoted to the architecture and construction German-language terminology modeling in the thesaurus form as a unified system-based multilevel classification structure, which covers all terms of the homogeneous professional activity sphere. Achieving the goal involves organizing a continuous German LSP architecture and construction terms and term compounds sample, highlighting the key term and modeling its semantic field, compiling a possible logical-semantic relationships list between concepts expressed in terms of architecture and construction based on them, semantic network as different semantic relationships within the thesaurus types. The architecture and construction German LSP lexical composition analysis, carried out in the thesaurus modeling framework, showed that the studied terminology has 6108 terms and term compounds, among them 4760 terms are nouns, 420 – verbs, 116 – adjectives. The sample also includes 58 adjectives (participles) and 8 words from other parts of speech. The total terms number is 742, which indicates a tendency to use analytical constructions in professional communication area. The German LSP architecture and construction terminology has a complex multilevel structure with its own system connections and interaction between the individual links. The key concept of logical-conceptual modeling is the term Architektur, the meaning of which indicates the interdisciplinarity of the knowledge proposed field. Other terms are grouped around the key concept on the of logical-conceptual relations basis of hyper-hyponymy, subcontracting (partial, synonymous, correlation, associative), as well as relations concerning the localization of the object, its purpose, function, ways of expressing the function, etc. (8626 relationships, combined into 18 types). Most terms are covered by paradigmatic semantic relations genus – species, part – whole, synonymy. In general, architecture and construction German terminology thesaurus modeling method is effective in solving problems of formalizing the certain terminological objects semantics, their systematization and unification. This is especially important in the educational information thesauri development, which serve as a linguodidactic tool for the future architect and builder professional competence formation. Such data network representation has not only purely applied value, but also allows to get deeper into logical architecture and construction terms relations, to model the analyzed terminological system more precisely.
