PECULIARITIES OF THE MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY OF THE KOREAN LANGUAGE: WAYS OF REPLENISHMENT

Abstract

The article examines the main ways to replenish the corpus of Korean medical terminology. A structural and formal characteristic of medical terms of the Korean language is given. From the point of view of types of word formation is described the specificity of word formation of medical terminology: borrowings (phonetic and semantic), morphological method (derivation), syntactic method (formation of terminological linkages). A new method of terminology formation for the Korean language, such as lettering in the Hangeul text, is considered. Using the classification of Yu.A. Sorokin, Korean derivational medical terms are also described. Characteristics are given to all seven structural variants of polylexeme derivatives of thermological linkages.
