MODELING OF THE BASIS FOR THE FORMATION OF CHINESE COMPUTER-RELATED TERMINOLOGICAL COMPOUND WORDS USING PROPOSITIONAL ANALYSIS

Abstract

The article discusses the study of cognitive mechanisms of formation of Chinese computer terminology by the method of identifying the structure of propositional relations between interacting elements of terminological compound words. The definition and analysis of potentially universal propositional structures at word level, formed on the basis of a set of arguments and predicates, and possessing a cognitive-semantic status, provides an in-depth understanding of derivation processes and is an important component of modern linguistic research, both at home and abroad, including research dedicated to Chinese word formation. The paper describes the propositional models derived from the analysis of Chinese computer terms, and also determines the role of propositions in the study of other cognitive models of word formation. An increase in the role of supercategory qualitative processes involved in the formation of a proposition (metaphorization, metonymization) following the growth of complexity of the conceptual structure of compound words is revealed.
