Abstract:
The article discusses the problem of defining terms based on functional, semantic, cognitive, and information approaches. The author examines the criteria of defining terms and makes an attempt to establish a certain interconnection between several approaches to defining realia-related terms and the theory and practice of translation. The author seeks to work out the op-timal criteria for defining units of hybrid origin that occur as a result of overlapping of two different lexical entities: terms and realiae. Following A. D. Schweitzer, the author suggests that these units should be named ‘realia terms.’ In addition to the method of comparative analysis of the original and its translation, the author leans on S. D. Shelov’s theory of term gradualism as a means of defining realia terms as lexical units whose meaning is not equal to the meaning of each of two groups, terms and realiae taken separately. The results of the arti-cle can be used by philologists and linguists specializing in translation as well as lecturers, postgraduates, and those interested in translation theory and terminology.
