Termination as the basis for classification of document texts

This article discusses the principles of classification of document texts from the point of view of records management and document linguistics; studies features of the terms of fixing the scope of the text (ambiguity, the presence of a strict definition, independent of context) and the scope of the operation (formal and substantial variability and others.); characterizes the specificity of multiple meanings, synonyms and variants of the terms used in the document texts; indicates the factors influencing the selection of the term for the document text. The authors propose to identify the main types of document texts in terms of terminological vocabulary representation and allocate mixed-type texts along with term-using (scientific, technical documents, secondary documents, etc.), term-fixing (standards, terminological dictionaries, encyclopedias, thesauri, classifications, etc.), and term-generating (documents or scientific texts devoted to document studies). The article presents the regulation as a document text of mixed type in terms of the use of terminological units. We give a definition of the regulation as the document, which is characterized by its form, the features of compositional structure and content of speech organization of the text; we also analyze the terminology of the field this document, structure recorded therein terminological units. Regulation is defined as a term-using, term-fixing, and a term- generating text.
