Summary of the chapter.

English-language terminology is characterized by basic lexico-semantic processes and features characteristic of the terminologies of other languages. The studied corpus of English construction terminology as a terminological system of an applied nature should be considered in close correlation with the development of the construction industry. A brief description of the development of the construction business shows that the English-language construction terminology is a formed layer of special vocabulary, directly related to the development of construction technology and the production of new materials.

A synchronous description of the English-language construction terminology makes it possible to identify a number of variable characteristics inherent in this lexical subsystem, which include: permeability; size; age; structure.

The studied terminological system has a peculiar structural composition. The analysis showed that the studied terms are multicomponent, including 2 or more components, have less than 2 components, and abbreviations.

The study of the methods of formation and ways of replenishment of construction terminology made it possible to identify the most productive ways of forming lexical units in this area. Within the framework of English terminology, there are several general ways of forming terms: semantic, syntactic and morphological. On the basis of the morphological method of term formation, it was possible to establish that the building term system corpus consists of simple term elements, derivatives, complex terms; derivatives and abbreviations. In turn, the description of derivative terms shows that the terminology of construction is most characterized by such a morphological method of term formation as affixation. The most productive way of derivation in construction terminology is suffixation. As the suffixes became more productive, the following classification was obtained: -er -ing, -tion, -or, -ment, -ant, -ture, -anee, -ize. It is characteristic that within the framework of the analyzed terminological system general language derivational models prevail, and the terminological status of derivative terms is given by the semantics of the root morpheme. Prefixation turned out to be a less productive way of term formation, the share of such terms in construction terminology is small and amounted to only.

To study the semantic structure and semantic features of construction terms, their lexical-thematic groups were identified and analyzed, which made up seven thematic fields. According to the degree of decrease in the quantitative composition of the permafrost, they were distributed as follows: construction materials; construction machines; construction processes; construction tools; building constructions; concrete/concrete constructions ; construction professions.
