Abstract

The growing role of terminological systems, including the English economic system, which serves for the complex of economic sciences, influences the vocabulary of modern languages greatly. Semantic derivation which is “the result of functional mobility of vocabulary, its movement from the periphery of the system (from languages for special purposes, sociolects) to its core – common language, from the core – to the periphery (from common language) to the languages for special purposes, sociolects), as well as movement within the periphery” [1, p. 58] is characterized by a high productivity in modern English in general and English economic terminology in particular.
