FORMAL AND STRUCTURAL PATTERNS AND CLASSIFICATION OF OIL INDUSTRY TERMINOLOGY IN THE GERMAN LANGUAGE

Abstract:

In the present day world, the transformation to globalisation has been carried out by the rapid growth of many different sectors of society. In this sense, the dynamic development has also involved the oil sector. Currently, the oil and gas industry is one of the most important of fast developing spheres of the world economy. The scale of the oil and gas industry certainly results in the advancement of international co-operation and exchange of technological experience. This requires reasonable technical liaising between experts at the international level. Translators play an important role when translating oil and gas terms from and into German. They are direct intermediaries without whom communication between representatives of different countries is unachievable. Obtaining a competent translation from and into German means understanding the linguistic peculiarities of terms used in the German oil and gas industry. In this connection there is a great need for a comprehensive and comprehensive study of the composition of terms in the modern German language in the oil and gas sphere, which determines the relevance of the subject of this study, because terminology in the field of oil and gas can cause certain obstacles and difficulties when translating individual elements into other languages. The objective of this paper is to carry out a study of the main sources of oil and gas terminology formation in German, to define the concepts of term and terminology, to analyse the formal-structural features and to study the classification of oil industry terms in the modern German language.
