Abstract:
This article analyzes the process of forming
terminological systems across different fields of
knowledge, focusing on its fundamental principles and
stages of development. Terms constitute a vital
element of scientific and practical activity, and their
systematization is closely related to scientific and
technological progress, linguistic characteristics,
historical and cultural factors, and processes of
international integration. The article also explores the
specifics of terminology formation in science,
technology, economics, medicine, law, and politics. It
argues that the development and standardization of
terminology is a crucial process for advancing scientific
thinking and organizing effective international scientific
dialogue.
Keywords:
Terminology, science and technology,
economics, medicine, law, politics, standardization,
scientific language, terminology system.
Introduction:
The development of any scientific or
applied discipline requires a clear, comprehensible, and
systematized terminological apparatus. Terms are one
of the most essential components of science,
technology, economics, and culture, and their proper
formation significantly enhances the efficiency of
research and practical activities. This article examines
the formation of terminological systems in various
domains of knowledge, highlighting their underlying

principles and developmental processes.
Terminology refers to the collection of specialized
terms used within a specific science or field. Each term
represents a distinct concept or process, thus clarity
and comprehensibility are vital. The process of
terminology formation is influenced by the following
factors:
1. Language and linguistic features
–
Each language has
its own grammatical and lexical structure, which
directly affects the formation of terms.
2. Scientific and technological progress
–
New
technologies and discoveries lead to the emergence of
new terms.
3. Historical and cultural factors
–
Scientific thinking
and the historical context of a nation influence its
system of terms.
4. International integration
–
Scientific terms in
different languages interact and are sometimes
assimilated with one another.
METHOD
Formation of Terminology in Various Fields
Terminology in Science and Technology
The field of science and technology is one of the fastest
growing, and new terms appear most frequently. For
example, in the areas of computer science and artificial
intelligence, terms such as “algorithm,” “neural
network,” and “quantum computer” are widely used.
Although these terms were initially coined in foreign
languages, their equivalents in Uzbek are still being
developed.
Main methods of term formation in technical fields
include:
- **Calquing**
–
a direct translation of a foreign word
(e.g., “computer network”);
- **Transliteration and transcription**
–
adoption of
foreign terms with similar pronunciation (e.g., the word
“scanner” is used
in Uzbek without alteration);
- **Creating an alternative term**
–
forming new terms
using existing native words (e.g., “artificial intelligence”
is adopted into Uzbek with an equivalent term).
Economics and Business Terminology
Modern economics and business also generate many
new terms. For example, terms like “marketing,”
“investment,” “startup,” and “capital” are used
internationally and are often adopted in similar form in
the Uzbek language.
Key principles in the formation of economic
terminology include:
- **Clarity and conciseness**
–
terms should be as
specific and brief as possible;
- **Universality**
–
consistency with international
terminology;
- **Compliance with lexical features of the Uzbek
language**
–
creation of terms in a manner compatible
with the national language.
For instance, the terms “inflation” and “deflation” are
used in Uzbek as-is, due to the absence of simpler
explanatory alternatives.
Terminology in Medicine and Biology
Most medical and biological terms are derived from
Latin and Greek. For example, terms such as
“oncology,” “cardiology,” and “orthopedics” are widely
used on an international scale.
Terminology in Law and Politics
Although terms like “democracy” or “authoritarianism”
are understood globally, each country adapts them to
its own legal and political framework.
Science is a system of knowledge about the world that
is continuously developing and deepening. A clear and
precise language is essential for the effective
functioning
and
communication
of
scientific
knowledge. The formation of terminological systems in
various fields of knowledge is a complex and lengthy
process that reflects the evolution of scientific thought
and its integration into the social context. This process
includes not only the creation of new terms but also
their refinement, standardization, and constant
updating in line with new discoveries and
achievements.
The earliest scientific terms often emerged from
everyday language through reinterpretation of words
and expressions. However, with the advancement of
science, simple reinterpretation proved insufficient.
The need for precise definitions led to the development
of specialized terminological systems, which include
not only individual words but also phrases and
expressions. This process is characterized by efforts to
unify terminology, eliminate synonyms, and establish a
clear and comprehensible system of concepts.
The formation of terminological systems varies across
disciplines. In well-established sciences such as
mathematics and physics, terminology tends to be
stable and highly formalized. New terms are introduced
rarely and follow strict guidelines. Conversely, in rapidly
evolving fields like information technology or
bioengineering, terminology is constantly changing.
The emergence of new technologies and discoveries
necessitates the creation of new terms and the revision
of existing ones. This process can be chaotic, making
the
standardization
of
terminology especially
important.

In conclusion, the formation of terminological systems
in various fields of knowledge is a continuous process
closely tied to scientific and technological progress. It is
a dynamic system that adapts to new discoveries while
striving for precision, accuracy, and integration. Only
through ongoing refinement of terminology can
scientific knowledge be effectively communicated,
promoted, and contribute to the advancement of
humanity. The role of specialized organizations and
committees in this process is crucial, as they establish
standards and ensure the accuracy of scientific
communication.
The formation of terminological systems is a long and
complex process influenced by linguistic, scientific,
technological, and cultural factors. The proper
development and systematization of terms impacts the
advancement of scientific thinking, the popularization
of science and technology, and the efficiency of expert
communication.
