МЕТОДОЛОГІЧНИЙ ПРИЙОМ РЕФЛЕКСІЇ У СУЧАСНОМУ ТЕРМІНОЗНАВСТВІ

Abstract

The paper deals with specifying the notion of reflection with further description of the method of reflection implementation in various scientific fields. The goal was achieved through verifying the etymology of the lexeme reflection; through analysing its definitions in special dictionaries; through getting acquainted with the results of the reflection method implementation in psychology and training of future specialists. Such an approach has provided the basis for formulating the following statements concerning the method of reflection application in modern terminological studies: a) there is sensibility in terminological studies to fix the interpretation of reflection as of a universal method (that is a methodological means), which allows to determine the specificity of the phenomenon / object as precisely as possible; b) identification of the productivity of reflection in the form of consciousness and thinking regulators, able to actualise, generate, reconstruct, and develop sense / meanings, can be used in terminological studies to differentiate between various types of reflection as a phenomenon, as well as to reproduce the form and meaning of terms in translation; c) the introduction into the scientific use of terminological studies of such a notion as "termoreflexive", used to refer to the subjective reflection on the content of a terminological unit as a process, mechanism and result of cognition, allows to create new equivalents of a terminological image. The interpretation of this notion will depend on at least three components: a specific communicative situation (in which a terminological reflexive will be involved), an objective component of its semantics (linking its components with universal categorical fields), and individual capabilities / abilities of a person to process information.
