ANALYSIS OF THE LANGUAGE COMPONENT OF NOMINATIVE UNITS IN THE SEMANTIC FIELD “ROAD PATROL SERVICE”
Abstract
The article is devoted to the language form of the nominative units within the semantic field Road Patrol Service. On the basis of the glossary of terms reflecting the reference zone Road Patrol Service the specificities of the style manifestations and the characteristic features of nomination have been highlighted. As a result of the analysis, linguistic features of the administrative-clerical substyle within the official style dominating in the communicative sphere under study include special vocabulary terminology, a large number of verbal nouns and cases of gerund use in English, as well as the use of nouns that name people by their actions and social roles. The analysis allowed us to conclude that among the mechanisms of direct nomination manifesting themselves in the nominative units of the semantic field Road Patrol Service, we pointed out specification of significative meaning of the nominative unit due to introduction of additional lexical units. Among the mechanisms of secondary, or indirect, nomination, we distinguished semantic transposition, including metonymy, metaphor and narrowing of the meaning, as well as semantic-syntactic transposition, represented by the conversion mechanism.
