TERM SYSTEM “SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AND CLIMATE CHANGE”: SPECIFICS OF ENGLISH-RUSSIAN TRANSLATION OF ITS UNITS

Abstract

The results of the research aimed at developing mechanisms for creating an adequate translation of units of the term system ‘Sustainable Development and Climate Change’ on the material of Russian and English languages are discussed. Using 113 text fragments with 181 terminological units and combinations extracted from academic texts in two languages (manuals, scientific articles published in highly rated journals, nomination dossiers of natural areas of international significance and abstracts devoted to the problem of sustainable development of natural areas: geoparks, specially protected natural areas of various types), the specific formal, semantic and functional features of the terminological system, which should be taken into account when interpreting the terminology, are shown. To interpret terminology a broad approach is used: it includes scientific terms, nomenclature units, and terminoids.
