The article «Lexical-semantic ways of forming of medical terms in the English and Tatar languages» considers the ways of forming of medical terms by changing the semantics of words already existing in the common language and borrowing from other languages in the English and Tatar languages.
This study uses a comparative analysis. The lexical-semantic methods of term formation are considered as the basis for comparison. The method of comparative interpretation is applied - the principles of interpretation of the compared material of two languages are determined.
The results of this study make it possible to use the obtained theoretical results and the collected lexical material in courses of general linguistics and lexicology and cognitive linguistics of the English and Tatar languages, in addition, the data obtained can be used in teaching professionally oriented English: in practical lessons of English language and in translation practice of students of medical sciences. The lexical material obtained in the course of the research can supplement the existing dictionaries of medical terminology in the English and Tatar languages.
Thus, the general qualities and specific features of the lexical-semantic ways of forming of medical terms in the English and Tatar languages are revealed. Lexical-semantic methods are typical for both languages, however, in the case of terminologization, metonymization, metaphorization and borrowing from other languages, some specific features are revealed in each language.
