BULGARIAN, POLISH AND ENGLISH TERMINOLOGICAL SYSTEMS IN THE FIELD OF PUBLIC HEALTH OF THE EUROPEAN UNION (FORMAL ANALYSIS)

Abstract

This paper studies the terminology in the field of Public health in three language version of the EU acquis: Bulgarian, Polish and English. Only the terms with a legal definition in an EU legal act are being analysed. The comprehensive study of the terms includes the parameters: source, outer and inner form of a term. Here only the outer form of the terms is compared. The analysis consists of three structural layers: 1. the structural type of the term – the number of components and their syntax relations; 2. the grammatical structure of the term – an analysis of the terms or the components of the terms as parts of speech; 3. word-building – derivative analysis of the components of the terms.
