CHINESE LINGUISTIC TERMS IN MODERN RUSSIAN (ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL CORPUS OF THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE)

Abstract

The article analyzes the use of linguistic terms of Chinese origin in modern Russian. Terms are identified that denote various phenomena of the Chinese language and writing: putonghua, pinyin, hanzi, guanhua, yue, wenyang, etc. The use of these terms is considered both on the material of the National Corpus of the Russian Language and on the material of the scientific electronic library eLIBRARY.RU. There is a more frequent use of Chinese linguistic terms in a scientific text (primarily in scientific articles) than in texts presented in the National Corpus of the Russian Language. This is due to the special nature of this vocabulary, its attribution to the scientific and popular science fields. Prospects for a more active use of Chinese linguistic terminology in Russian in connection with the expansion of contacts between Russia and China are outlined.
