TECHNICAL TERMS AND VERB-BASED SENTENCE CONSTRUCTION: A SCIENTIFIC-THEORETICAL ANALYSIS
Abstract
This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the linguistic features of scientific and technical texts in modern linguistics, with particular emphasis on the relationship between terms and verbs. The author considers terminological units not only as elements of the lexical level but also as fundamental components of the syntactic system. It is argued that the stability of “term + verb”
constructions, their strict valency, and standardization are important features of scientific style in technical discourse. It is also emphasized that verbs, when combined with terms, form a semantic unity and perform both conceptual and functional roles. The article examines issues such as the predominance of passive constructions, the widespread use of analytical verbal combinations, and the acquisition of terminological meaning by metaphorical verbs. Syntactic challenges of technical translation in English and Uzbek are comparatively analyzed.
