SYNTACTIC PATTERNS OF LOGISTICS TERM FORMATION IN ENGLISH AND BULGARIAN LOGISTICS TERMINOLOGY
Keywords:
logistics terminology, terminological phrases, typology of phrasesAbstract
This paper dwells on syntactic patterns of logistics term formation in English and Bulgarian logistics terminology. The analysis and conclusions are part of a detailed exploration into the English and Bulgarian logistics terminological systems. The methods applied are a comparative approach implemented on the basis of the principles of synchronicity and systematicity when relating English terms to their Bulgarian equivalents and a semantic-syntactic method when revealing the relations between components in phrases with a component analysis of their semantic structure. Based on the examples included in the corpus developed especially for the study, the paper offers a classification of terminological phrases in the English and Bulgarian terminological system of logistics. The findings can be relevant when teaching English for Logistics
