Abstract

The research of terminological fragments – the fragments of the text or discourse containing the terms, which designate special objects of a certain knowledge area is considered in this article. Using a method of terminological fragmentation authors define a fragment functional intensity in respect of cognitive and pragmatic contents. Cognitive interpretation is carried out concerning fund of knowledge of the author and the recipient. The definitions of scientific concepts are considered by the author of the text in the field of cognitive interpretation with the indication of their hypo-hyperonymic relations; correlation to the frame structure of knowledge of the corresponding field is emphasized. Pragmatic interpretation concerns the intentions of speaker, intensions for informing or assessment, statement impacts on the addressee, influence of a speech situation on subject and communication forms. Set of rules of cognitive and pragmatic interpretation allows specialists to establish interrelations between concepts, to recreate cognitive model and to present professional communication as the integrated multidimensional language phenomenon.
