Professionalisms as components of the vocabulary of forensic examination

Abstract

The vocabulary of forensic examination, diverse in its composition, requires a multifaceted study. Promising and linguistic characterization of professionalisms as one of the categories of functionally specialized vocabulary of forensic examination is promising.

The purpose of the article is to identify and characterize the features of the use of professionalism in the vocabulary of forensic examination, to determine their role in the professional communication of forensic experts.

Professionalisms in the vocabulary of forensic examination are unofficial short words that duplicate the established and fixed terms of the specified field, which call the realities, as well as convey the actual production information. The article defines a range of special concepts, which are called professionalisms, namely: types of examinations, subjects that conduct examinations, names of objects, their properties, stages of production and professional processes, etc. It is established that professionalisms, which are used as synonymous doublets in the oral speech of specialists, are almost not recorded in dictionaries of various types, but sometimes able to penetrate into written speech while covering current issues in professional publications. The peculiarities of the differences of forensic professionalisms from forensic terminology, which are connected with emotional coloring, stylistic expressiveness, imagery, are clarified. It is established that the main means of creating professional vocabulary of forensic examination is the implication of the analytical term (reception of language economy), which is mostly associated with the word-forming modification of the basic component of the analytical term. It is determined that the semantic way of creating professional jargons mostly consists in the metonymic name of specific subjects.
