Abstract

The paper addresses the ways of applying economy principle to the sublanguage of psychology. The authors identify the most productive term formation methods, which show the tendency of both languages to compression of nominal words and phrases. In the system of psychological terms of the English language, the most productive ways of linguistic compression are affixation and compounding. The English terminological system is rich, functional and economical because of its unlimited potential for compounding and affixation. The Russian terminological system is more likely to enrich the vocabulary through phonetic borrowings, semantic derivation and calque. It is argued that the borrowings acquired by the Russian terminological system account for the multitude of synonymous terms. On the other hand, phonetic borrowings and semantic calque have enriched the vocabulary without effort and redundancy. It is concluded that economy principle plays a fundamental role in the creation of new words and their adaptation to the English and Russian terminological systems.
经济原则在英俄心理术语形成中的运用
本文论述了将经济学原理应用于心理学次语言的途径。作者确定了最有效的术语构成方法,显示了两种语言对名义词和短语的压缩趋势。在英语心理术语系统中,最有效的语言压缩方式是词缀和复合。英语术语系统由于其无限的复合和词缀潜力而丰富、实用和经济。俄语术语系统更有可能通过语音借调、语义派生和推理来丰富词汇。本文认为,俄语术语系统所获得的借代解释了大量的同义术语。另一方面,语音的借用和语义的变换使词汇丰富,无需费力和冗余。本文认为,经济原则在英语和俄语词汇的创造和适应中起着重要的作用。
