Paradigmatics of the term as a criterion of the scientific validity of a theory

this article examines the paradigmatics of the term as a criterion for the scientific validity of the theory, with an emphasis on linguoecology. The purpose of the study was to analyze and describe current trends in terminology, including transterminologization and metaphorical borrowings from other sciences. Particular attention is paid to the criticism of linguoecology for the lack of clear criteria and research tools, as well as for the excessive creation of terms without sufficient theoretical justification. Research has shown that the problem of nominating terms of modern scientific trends in linguistics remains relevant due to the interdisciplinary nature of modern scientific knowledge. The cognitive aspect of the formation of modern linguistic terms determines the comprehensive study of scientific information, including extralinguistic factors of the emergence of new scientific concepts in various fields of human activity. In the course of the research, it was proved that the appearance of new terms does not always represent a new scientific direction, but the idea of separating new knowledge into a new branch of science (new science) is necessarily accompanied by the appearance of new terms (neologisms, neonyms). The conclusion is made: the study of the ways of forming the latest linguistic nominations will make it possible to clarify their semantic and functional features as part of the paradigms, which is an indicator of the scientific validity of the theory.
