SCIENTIFIC TEXT LANGUAGE CODE COMPLEXITY AS A FACTOR OF COMMUNICATION DIFFICULTIES

Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of a scientific text understanding in the space of interdisciplinary communication, which is relevant for modern psycholinguistics. The interdependence between the structural and semantic features of a scientific text and the reasons that prevent its adequate interpretation is considered. It is ascertained that the difficulties in the scientific text understanding are determined by the complexity of the language code. The author substantiates that incorrect decoding of a text message is associated with a mismatch of the cognitive-linguistic characteristics of the professional conceptual spheres of the text producer and its addressee. The conceptual sphere of a specific scientific field for the purposes of communication is verbalized in the form of a conceptual and terminological apparatus, in which the terms are united by a stable invariant system of associative and semantic ties and are marked by the associative competence of the bearer of this conceptual sphere. The interpretation of the semantics of language signs is determined by the meanings of terms originally acquired by the specialist in the corresponding professional field of knowledge. The difference between the objects of research in the contacting scientific fields determines the inconsistency of lexico-semantic systems representing these spheres of knowledge, in which isomorphic terms can be largely differentiated in their semantic content. It is established that errors in the adequate identification of the meanings of isomorphic terms of another field of scientific knowledge arise as a result of incorrect associative modeling of semantics in the language structure of a polysemantic word. Significant factors that hamper scientific text understanding are the features of its structural and semantic organization associated with a large number of special terminology used and logical and compositional disorder in the presentation of a textual judgment.
