Abstract:
This article examines the common vocabulary of educational scientific texts on
logistics, which includes words with high frequency of usage, and which are necessary for
speech construction. The study focuses on the analysis of educational and scientific texts on
logistics in English, identifying key prepositions and words that play an important role in the
formation of scientific presentation. As a result of the analysis, the most frequently used verbs,
prepositions and their combinations with significant words in logistics were identified.
Key words:
vocabulary of scientific language, common vocabulary, logistics, prepositions,
verbs, scientific presentation.
In our study, we proceed from the established thesis that the vocabulary of scientific language is
divided into three main layers [4]. The first layer is general words that are used most frequently,
and without which it is impossible to construct speech as a whole. This layer also includes
functional words and is called "commonly used". The second layer is the general scientific layer,
which includes scientific vocabulary necessary for the implementation of scientific presentation.
And finally, the third layer is the terminological layer, which includes special vocabulary.
Commonly used vocabulary is not the subject of special study.
We have chosen the course book “Logistics” by Donald Waters for vocabulary analysis [1]. In
the analyzed educational scientific texts on logistics the following prepositions play a special
role:
of (1137), for (319), by (151), in (556), on (147), at (76), from (103), about (22), during
(31), between (46), as (206), through (54), with (157), into (35),
which are used with the
following significant words in logistics, like logistics, suppliers, supply chain, planning, service,
product, customer, client, facilities, user, driver, logician, service, consumption, calculation,
logistic system, decision, date, level, facility, cost, budget, system, inventory, delivery, resupply,
quantity, performance, quality, items, quantification, period, supervision, transport, monitoring,
assessment, supply plan, order, review, account, analysis, management, provider, collection,
stakeholder, selection, records. For example:
of
supply chain / planning / service / logistics / suppliers;
to
clients, to facilities, to users, to drivers, to logicians;
on
service, on data, on consumption, on calculation, on delivery;
for
consumption, for logistic system, for decision making, for data;

by
date, by level, by facility, by cost;
in
budget, in system, in inventory, in service;
about
performance / quality / items / disagreement about, talk about, concerns about
during
quantification / period / supervision / transport / monitoring;
from
supplier, from plan, from assessment, from supply plan;
between
levels / quantities / qualities / systems / stocks;
as
facilities, as budget, as required, as monitoring,
with
order, with a review, with items, with data;
progress / flow / connect / sell / trade / search / meet
through
;
into
account / elements / categories / practice / analysis / number / chain
In the private sector’s push-based supply chain, products may be pushed from the production
side to the retailer, with the manufacturer determining production levels based on historical data
and forecasted demand.
In the abovementioned texts the following verbs have the high repetition rate: to manage (26), to
work (45), to move (166), to deliver (56), to describe (60), to include (170), to make (296), to
find (246), to get (190), to consider (51), to return (45), to organise (53), to use (185), to be (694),
to provide (55), to receive (100), track (17), combine (16), distribute (45), store (80), need (162),
keep (25), to have (303), request (33), calculate (92), require (107), collect (101), improve 50,
take (36), test (90), select (64), reduce (37), increase (45), consider (67), complete (45),
determine (119), select (70), ensure (137), depend (34), to help (53), receive (110), determine
(95), organize (22),
For example:
to manage
delivery routes / databases / the logistic functions;
to move
passengers / materials / freight, move up and down;
to deliver
packages / reliably / products;
to describe
approaches / timetables / capacity / details;
to include
distribution / transport / provision / details;
to make
use / decision / operations / deliveries;
to find
routes /options / location / solution;
to get
information / an advantage / experience / materials;
to consider
factors / location / implementation / cost / decision / production;
to return
a price / home / trailer / materials / borrowing / investment / units;
to organise
efficient flow / local deliveries / movement / distribution of products / operations;
to be
based / used / estimated / ordered / registered / analyzed / procured;

evidence;
to receive
reports / summary / products / shipment / data / resupply / service;
to track

to combine
all data / rules / elements / reports / facilities;
to distribute
products / supplies / commodities / remainders;
to store
products / supplies / drugs / staff / quantity / facility;
to need
vehicles / time / place / review / data / supplies / production;
keep
products / track / providers / service / inventory / data / information;
to have
experience / supply chain / requirements / options / access / regulations;
to select
product / type / techniques / suppliers / tool / inventory / options / design
Conclusion
The study highlights the importance of understanding the structure of scientific vocabulary for
effective scientific writing. The identified layers of vocabulary help to better understand the
mechanisms of scientific speech formation and the roles of different types of words in the
communication process. The analysis of the use of prepositions and key terms in logistics texts
demonstrates how these elements contribute to the clarity and accuracy of scientific writing,
which is an important aspect for specialists in logistics and related disciplines. Common
vocabulary plays an important role in scientific and educational texts on logistics, ensuring the
availability and coherence of information. It contributes to the formation of the logical structure
of the text, facilitates the perception of terms and concepts. When developing educational
materials on logistics, it is necessary to take into account not only the terminological layer, but
also the principles of selection and use of common vocabulary, since the quality of assimilation
of logistics knowledge largely depends on it. Further research can be aimed at creating
dictionaries of stable constructions and developing methodological materials for teaching
language competence in logistics.
