So, terminologisation is the process of bringing common
words of the English language into special terminologies with the
functional or semantic changes.
Integration of sciences caused interpenetration of terms into
different terminologies When considering the phenomenon of
transiting terms from one terminology into another, we are faced
with the lack of a single unified name of this process:
transtermìnologìsation, interbranch transformation, transdisciplìne
borrowing, retermìnologìsation. Transterminologisation is a
process of borrowing a term from one terminology and bringing it
into another one with or without violation of its semantic structure.
Economics has common terms with statistics, mathematics,
physics, medicine and religion. Such term have penetrated into
economic terminology without chances in the meaning e.g. an
average – a value showing the central tendency of a set of data and
often used to compare that set with others (середня величина).
Often terms undergo semantic changes in new systems e.g.
barometric firm leadership – the leadership of an
oligopolistic firm which first makes price changes to act as a
‘barometer’ to test the market.
Buddhist economics – an approach to economic growth
which takes into account spiritual development and does not
squander natural resources so that all have a ‘right livelihood’.
Any existence of terms with the same forms and different
values in several termìnologies should not be considered a
consequence of transtermìnologìsation. It can be caused as well by
a random coincidence of forms, historical phonetic changes in the
nomination. For example, a philosophical term theism (theism) is
formed from the Greek words of god (teo) and the suffix ism
(ìzm), whereas a similar term of medicine for disease caused by
excessive consumption of tea comes from the Latin tea (tea).
Traditionally involving terms in literary and artistic language
is called determinologisation – a process which is the opposite to
termìnologisation. However, in the linguistic works we can meet
