Abstract

The article studies chaos and its manifestation in the synonymous series of medical terms. Particular attention is paid to identifying the transfer of chaos from the state of invisibility to the state of visibility in medical discourse. It has been determined that the chaos that is invisibly present in the structure of a synonymic series manifests itself under the pressure of the context of the use of terms, the needs of the language user, communicative goals, discourse conditions changing the previously established order in the relationship of terms. It has been established that chaos complicates and expands boundaries of the synonymic series, meeting challenges of the new in medicine, its evolution towards the improvement and complexity of all its branches. Conditions for the presence of chaos in an ordered series of synonyms in medical terminology are considered. It is proved that due to the internal conjugation of chaos with order, the synonymous series of medical terms retains flexibility and enables the user of the language to respond to changes in medical science. Chaos, which affects the semantic relationships between synonyms, provides an effective and quick organization of the actions of people entering into professional communication.
