The componential semantic reflection of Russian energy industry terms in scientific articles

This paper examines the reflection of semes of energy terms in different scientific contexts and the semantic relationship between them according to their constant and potential semes. The aim of this study is to determine the semantic characteristics and functions of terms and the relationship between them in different contexts which play an important role for the formation of modern terminological thesaurus dictionaries. Componential and contextual semantic analyses were carried out based on 100 scientific articles of energy industry and other closely-related fields. It is concluded that the key terms for a certain text constitute a kind of scheme (scenario), according to which the presentation of scientific texts unfolds. The content and composition of each of the selected scenarios is determined by the title of an article and the aspect of the presentation by the authors. The typological description of the scenarios in the article is based, on the one hand, on the indication of the composition of the given scenario, and on the other hand, on the analysis of the content of each of the allocated compositional fragments.
