ANALYSIS OF THE “ACADEMIC TERM” BASED ON THE STRUCTURES OF US AND RUSSIAN DORMITORIES

Abstract

It is known that the terminology of higher education is continuously developing under conditions of globalization and Russian entrance into Bologna process. As a result, many terms of one term system get into another one, from English into Russian and vice versa. The research has been made due to the growing interest to the problems of terminology studies by way of internationalizing the structure of high education and the developing of the term systems in many spheres and especially in the educational area. The article explains the term “semantization” and does comparative analysis of selected terms according to the three levels of “semantization” in order to determine their similarities and differences when translating into a second language and vice versa. The work has been conducted on the base of active vocabulary which is widely used in the dormitories of American and Russian universities. The majority of the terms have been collected from different online resources (websites and forums) which are officially used by and connected to the universities in the USA and Russia. These terms have been selected, defined, explained and translated from Russian into English and from English into Russian.
