Characteristics of the word-formation valence of verbal terminological units physical culture and sports

Relevance. The concept of "education of special units" is the most important in the science of terminological units, therefore it is especially significant for the study of a professional language, but it is characterized by ambiguity of content. With the valence approach used by the authors of the publication, the emphasis shifts to the possibility of a verbal basis generating a new nomination, which is extremely important for preserving professional efforts in terminodidactics and terminographic practice. This circumstance determines the relevance and partly the novelty of the materials proposed in the publication, related to the morphological characteristics of the studied units. The purpose of the study is to identify the valence characteristics of the verbal terminological bases extracted from the sources of the scientific and educational sub-style studied at universities of physical culture and sports. Research methods: valence, definitional, semantic, quantitative, descriptive method as part of various techniques: linguistic observation, comparison and generalization. Statistical calculations were performed in the Microsoft Excel software package. Research results. The verbal terminological units identified by the continuous sampling method in the number of 756 nominations are typified by genetic characteristics as distinctive and borrowed generating bases. In the general corpus of lexemes, unmotivated, substantive, subjective, verbal bases are revealed. It is established that as a result of the realized internal valence, 1070 special units were formed, which were characterized by morphological, structural, semantic features. Conclusion. It is concluded that borrowed verb bases have a smaller set of valence-dependent affixes in comparison with their native ones, which makes it possible to positively characterize their derivatological qualities from the point of view of terminological theory, terminodidactics and terminography. It is established that the internal valence of verbal bases is determined by extralinguistic and linguistic factors, among the latter should be called lexico-grammatical category, morphological affiliation, genesis, semantics, quantitative patterns of structure.
