A LOAN TERM VS A NATIVE ONE

The article is devoted to the comparative analysis of loan and native terms and to the aspect of their usage in the modern Russian language. Interlingual borrowing of lexical units as a natural process in any language has become their characteristic feature in functioning due to the modern processes in the world (such as economical, political and cultural integration and globalization). Any term system has a high level of structuring, and term formations have regular nature. Thus, exact organization comes to a recipient language along with loan terms. Each microgroup of lexical units tends to be a system in a recipient language. Correspondence to all term standards and consistency and purposefulness can help a native term to occupy its position in the term system of a language. A native term has more chances to be accepted by a lingual group if it is expanded in such a moment when international word or loan term hasn’t covered speech activity of a lingual group. Inner form of native terms, as a rule, has clarity, concept of such terms is known for people. But native terms have disadvantages: due to their long usage in a language and multiple meanings native terms can lead to uncontrolled associations. In many cases preference to loan terms in professional sphere is explained by communicative and pragmatic factors, and also broad productive capacity due to their laconism.
