Training of professional terminology at foreign language lessons in the university of traditional applied art

The article is devoted to the process of work on the foreign professional terminology of the specialty in the university of traditional applied art, as well as its linguistic description. In the focus of this study, art history terminology in its structural- semantic, etymological aspects, analysis of the syntax of texts containing these terms. A comprehensive analysis of professional terminology in the study of a foreign language is necessary so that the future specialist cannot simply assimilate ready-made lexical units, but also to know their history, peculiarities of use and functioning. Thanks to a detailed study of terms, a specialist will be free to build his professional discourse. In the course of work on art history terms, it is identified that in the structural plan English art history terms are represented by 4 word-formation models (noun, adjective + noun, adjective + proper name, adjective + adjective + noun). The productive suffixes include suffixes -ing, -ity, -ness, -ism, -ist. Most of the terms of art history (about 90%) are consubstantial vocabulary, i.e. coinciding in form with the words of the general literary language. For English-language art history terminology, as the study showed, antonymy is not characteristic. On the basis of the analysis of examples, it is revealed that art history texts carry an informative, interpretive, aesthetic and emotional function. Art history texts are realized in two styles: scientific popular (report, article, monograph, essay) and publicistic (article, essay, feuilleton, reportage, television program). It is noted that English texts of art history are characterized by a complex syntax (frequent use of participles, gerunds, infinitive constructions, common sentences with simple word order and homogeneous sentence members).
