STRUCTURAL-SEMANTIC FEATURES OF LEXICAL UNITS RELATED TO INTERNATIONAL LAW IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK
Keywords:
International law, ILO, Conventions, Labour Organization.Abstract
The article is devoted to the analysis of different models of terminological units in the language of international law and is based on the texts of 20 internationally recognized documents – International Labour Organization conventions. Due to the fact that conventions apply to different areas of international employment law, the terminology is thematically diverse. The authors distinguish three main types of terms depending on the number of components. Legal terminology is characterized by a certain semantic structure which is of great importance in conveying the meaning of the term. Special attention is given to the ways of legal terminology formation. Though legal English is rather conservative, it allows certain transformations by means of extension of meaning and at the expense of related fields of knowledge.
