Abstract

The article presents results of an analysis of structural and word-formation characteristics of one-component English-language socio-political terminological units based on the English-Russian dictionary of terms to the European Convention on Human Rights. The following main structure-forming characteristics of single-component terms of a socio-political nature were identified, described and analyzed: morphological and word-formation structure, as well as word-formation methods and models used for term formation. The studied terminological words under study are interpreted as the lexicon of the language for special means. A language for special tools is a kind of language system that serves a specific field of human activity. The study confirmed the priority of morphological methods of term formation (affixation in particular) and word-formation models used to create nouns, which prevail in the set of terms being the subject of study that corresponds to the trend of productivity of these methods and models of term formation both in the language for special purposes and in the modern English literary language.
