The SPEECH concept is the third component of the studied verbalized complex concept WORD / LANGUAGE / SPEECH. The corresponding segment of the nominative field of the complex concept is the smallest in the analyzed sample. This happens for several reasons. First, of the 4 specialized dictionaries of linguistic terminology, one of them (ELL) does not have a separate speech article, although there is a whole cluster of articles that contain the corresponding lexeme in the terminological compounds (speech chain, speech community, etc.). Second, the total number of dictionary entries that define and characterize this concept from different angles is much smaller due to the smaller number of references from SPEECH nuclear articles. In total, in all dictionaries there are only 31 internal links and no external ones. It should be noted that a number of referal articles are duplicated in all three segments of the complex nominative field, which is studied in the second section of the dissertation. It follows that the linguistic units defined by such articles have already been analyzed in detail. The marginal zone of the nominative field includes terms by references of the second degree, i.e. the relevant articles were referenced from a certain peripheral article. There are many of these in the sample due to the peripheral articles speech act and speech act theory. They explain the meaning of terms that refer to different types of speech acts and sub-acts (in Roueledge terminology). The terminological unit felicity conditions falls into the marginal zone of the nominative field of the SPEECH concept by reference to the second degree from the peripheral article speech act. A separate link is found only in the Crystal dictionary, although the topic is touched upon in most dictionaries.
