Abstract

The article studies the use of professional terminology in English-language recipes. The main objective of the research involves identifying features of the use of specialized terms in the culinary discourse of an English-language culinary website based on descriptive and functional analysis. The article explores the professional vocabulary of culinary discourse based on the English-language culinary website BBC GoodFood, which contains a large number of recipes for all categories of dishes from different nations of the world. The study of professional terminology in this article is valuable because, for the first time, professional culinary vocabulary is used on the material of the English-language culinary website “BBC GoodFood” and a descriptive and functional analysis of online recipes from the category “Dinner ideas” is carried out based on a continuous sample from this website. In 24 recipes, 10 recurring professionalisms are identified, the frequency of their use was calculated, and 5 functions of the professionalisms found in the analyzed recipes were described. The materials of the conducted research will be useful for further study of the terminology of culinary discourse.
