WORD-FORMATION PROCESSES IN THE MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY OF THE CHINESE LANGUAGE (IN THE ASPECT OF TRANSLATION INTO RUSSIAN LANGUAGE)

Abstract

Nowadays the situation with the terminological field of medicine is associated not only with its initial lexical base and the content of certain concepts, but also with social development both in the world and in every specific country that has formed medical schools. The article examines the influence of word-formation processes on the translation of medical terminology from Chinese into Russian language, which is aimed at achieving an adequate transfer of vocabulary in the field of medicine. In the reference literature, it is not always possible to find a correspondence to Chinese terms in Russian language. There are practically no specialized dictionaries in this area too. The article presents and analyzes the reasons for the difficulties arising in the translation of medical terminology, such as its ambiguity, metaphoricality, motivational feature, lack of rational classifications. The article also systematizes the requirements for translation of such terminology.
