What are professionalisms? Professionalisms - words or expressions characteristic of the speech of a particular professional group
. Professionalisms usually act as colloquial equivalents of terms corresponding in meaning.: a typo in the speech of newspapermen - a blunder; the steering wheel in the speech of drivers is a steering wheel; synchrophasotron in the speech of physicists - a saucepan, etc. The terms are the legalized names of any special concepts. Professionalisms are used as their unofficial substitutes only in the speech of persons related by profession, limited to a special topic. Often professionalisms have a local, local character. There is, however, a point of view according to which professionalism is a synonym for the concept of "term". According to some researchers, professionalism is a “semi-official” name for a concept that is limited in use - the vocabulary of hunters, fishermen, etc.
By origin, professionalism, as a rule, is the result of a metaphorical transfer of the meanings of everyday vocabulary words to terminological concepts: by similarity, for example, the shape of the part and everyday reality, character production process and a well-known action, or, finally, by emotional association.
Professionalisms are always expressive and are opposed to the precision and stylistic neutrality of terms. Professionalisms are similar to jargon and words of colloquial vocabulary in terms of reduced, rough expression, and also in that they, like jargons and colloquial speech, are not an independent language subsystem with their own grammatical features, but some small lexical complex. Due to the expressiveness inherent in professionalism, they relatively easily pass into common speech, as well as into colloquial speech of the literary language. For example: overlay - "error" (from the actor's speech), janitor - "windshield wiper" (from the speech of motorists).
Like terms, professionalisms are used in the language of fiction as a means of representation.
And so, we found out that professionalisms are words characteristic of a particular profession, sometimes close to jargon.
At the second stage of our work, we conducted a survey among people of various professions. In particular, teachers.
To the diagram: 40% of the respondents said that they do not know what professionalism is, 27% guess, more than 30% of the respondents answered that they know. Some respondents assured that the word "professionalism" does not exist, but only professional vocabulary(a concept that is close in meaning). Slightly more than half claimed that they often use professionalisms in everyday life, the majority agreed that professionalisms help them communicate with people in their profession, but a few people, including a couple of teachers, said that they get along just fine in speech without them.
We also asked all respondents to give a couple of examples of professionalism related to their profession.
Here are the examples we got:
Teachers - pedagogical skills, project, non-linear learning process, class magazine, equation, music teacher - major mood, you are fake (in the sense of lying), book sorter - codification (of books), coach - cutting, economist - asset, credit, debit, engineer - sunbed, riser, helmsman - fordak, tacking (overtaking), compass (instead of a compass).
From the above examples, it is clear that many (about 92%) do not perceive the word "professionalism" well. Some teachers of the Russian language assured that the words "professionalism" in given value does not exist at all. From which we can conclude that the term "professionalism" itself refers to professional vocabulary.
After conducting a survey, we came to the unanimous opinion that the term "professionalism" in household life we don't need it at all. We perfectly understand each other without him. For example, when we explained what these same professionalisms are, the example of a sailor - a compass helped a lot. People often use professionalisms and find them convenient. Professionalisms also help people in the same profession to better understand each other. Professionalism can become synonymous with ordinary words in everyday life (as, for example, a major mood means “good mood”)
Professionalisms are words that belong to the speech of a certain speaking group, united by some production activity, specialty or profession ( medical workers, printers, lawyers, sailors, etc.). Professionalisms designate special concepts, tools or products of labor, labor processes of production. Therefore, they are sometimes called special words or technical terms.
Here are a few examples: a scalpel is a small surgical knife, usually with an arcuate blade, for operations, anatomy (lat.); veneer (German Spon "sliver") - thin metal plate, not reaching the height of the font, inserted between the lines of the set to increase the distance between them; dowels - part of the upper deck of a warship (Dutch); alibi (lat. alibi "in another place") - the absence of the accused at the scene of the crime at the time of its commission as evidence of his non-involvement in the crime; mezra - the wrong side of dressed leather, etc.
Like dialectisms, professionalisms constitute such a layer of words in the vocabulary of the national language, the scope of which is limited. However, they seriously differ from dialectisms: 1) the scope of their use is limited not territorially, but socially,
- they are part of the vocabulary of the literary language.
In a number of cases, the scope of the use of certain professionalisms expands so much that they turn into popular words. This is explained either by the wide distribution of a special subject and concept, or by their metaphorical use to designate objects and phenomena of reality that they had not previously called. For example, the words harvester, globe, screen became the property of the nationwide dictionary after in our agriculture harvesting with the help of a combine has firmly entered the life, the globe has become essential accessory when teaching geography, and cinema has become one of the most popular species art. Due to metaphorical use, the words became popular among professionalisms, for example, the words: all hands on deck (cf .: “An emergency call was announced”) - originally the marine command “All up!”; fermentation (cf .: fermentation of minds) - originally biological term; sphere (in higher spheres) - originally a mathematical term; soft-bodied - originally a special word for gardeners, a term for determining the ripeness of fruits; tempo (cf .: growth rates) - originally a musical term.
Among professionalisms, they stand out as words that, as lexical items known only in special use, for example: troetes (from the dictionary of carpenters) - a long nail connecting three clefts at once; print - an impression or a photograph from an engraving (from French, cf.: stamp); smelting - a piece of metal; asbestos is a fibrous white material from which fireproof products are made (this word first came to us from Greek in the form of the word lime), etc., as well as words that, with other meanings, are part of the popular vocabulary: bridge - a place on the deck from where the commander commands the ship; cap - title large print, title of several articles (typography), etc.
Professionalisms are usually used in oral speech representatives of any profession, specialty and in the scientific and technical literature.
Professionalism is possible both in journalism and fiction, but there they can only be justified as a definite stylistic device for image labor activity and industrial landscape, for speech characteristics characters. When using certain professionalisms, one should remember about rum that some of them are unfamiliar to representatives of other areas of labor activity, and, if necessary, explain their meanings in one way or another. "
In addition to common words in Russian, there are words that are used much less frequently. These include various jargons and turns used in professional speech. Professionalisms are words that are used by people of a particular profession, or simply related to a particular specialization. But, unlike terms, they are not accepted as official concepts and are not applicable in scientific activity.
Term Features
It is worth dwelling in more detail on what professionalisms are in Russian. Often these words are slang expressions. The informal nature of lexemes suggests that they are not used everywhere. Their use may be limited to a narrow circle of people: belonging to the same specialty, qualifications, working in the same organization. Often the range of concepts becomes wider over time.
Practically people of any profession have their own set of professionalisms. This is due to the need to clearly identify all processes and phenomena in working life, many of which are often undefined. Such words are formed through associations with everyday concepts. Often, for a person who is not versed in the intricacies of a particular profession, confusion may arise when meeting with words from B real life they can refer to completely different objects.
For example, the word "peasants" in legal speech designate witnesses to the crime, not villagers.
Characteristics and application
Another one salient feature professionalism is emotional coloring and expression. Many are used to denote negative working phenomena, errors in production. Their similarity with colloquial expressions is noticeable: in some cases it is almost impossible to distinguish between these concepts. They are always formed in oral speech. In some cases, the word has a terminological analogue, which is not used due to the difficulty of pronunciation, the cumbersomeness of the word.
Many examples can be cited from railway professions. Each type of transport here has its own designation, sometimes consisting of abbreviations and numbers. It is quite difficult to use them in speech, therefore, substitute concepts appear in the communication of railway workers.
For example, a tank with 8 axles is called a "cigar", and a diesel locomotive TU2 is called a "carcass" by road workers. Meet similar examples and in aviation: the AN-14 aircraft was nicknamed the “bee”.
Designations have not only technical devices, but also individual professions and positions. Dreziners are called drivers of track cars. Some of the professional words are distorted foreign designations: reading the Latin alphabet without observing the rules of pronunciation (for example, "designer" - designer).
Examples from different professions
In some works of fiction, writers also use professionalisms. This is for the image certain category people, conveying emotions and for character dialogues. Many representatives of professions do not even notice how they use the words of this vocabulary in their speech. Teachers, sports coaches, economists and designers have them. In legal and advocacy practice, the phrase “to sew a case” means “investigation with a bias towards prosecution”. Musicians and music teachers have an expression “major mood”, which carries a rather positive connotation. Rich in professionalism and language of medical workers, where compound names diagnoses are replaced by ironic, simplified words.
"Betseshnik" is called a patient infected with hepatitis B and C, "flicker" is called atrial fibrillation. The main purpose of such words in this case- make speech shorter and more capacious, and speed up the process of helping patients.
Use in speech
Professionalisms in the Russian language are little studied, linguists try to avoid this phenomenon. The appearance of such words is spontaneous, and it is difficult to find certain boundaries for them and give a clear designation. There are some educational publications in which experts try to give a list of professionalisms. Such dictionaries will help students and learners in their further work activities: quickly get up to speed and understand colleagues, do not experience difficulties in oral communication with narrow specialists.
Problems of professionalism
One of the problems is the misunderstanding of professionalism by people who do not belong to a particular one. Many of these expressions are not found in dictionaries. And those that are found in dictionaries and terminological publications, are hardly distinguished from the terms themselves and vernacular. Impossible to find precise definition professionalism can cause confusion even among the representatives of the professions themselves. And because of this - errors in work, failures. Information barriers arise when communicating between employees and qualified specialists with their guidance. It is more common for employees to use special expressions in their speech, but their meaning is unfamiliar to many managers. As a result, there is some separation of groups of workers different levels, conflicts may arise.
professional words. Examples of professionalisms in Russian?
Professional words, or professionalisms, are words that are characteristic of a particular profession, people who are united by one or another professional activity. Doctors have their own set of such words, as do lawyers, linguists, programmers, etc. As a rule, these words are little known and little understood. a wide range people, especially highly specialized words, although there are also those that are widely used in the speech of most people.
It is worth noting that official terms and professionalism are not the same thing, for example, professionalism goat - Remains of solidified metal in metallurgy, of. the term is
Here are some examples of professionalism:
candle (doctors have a type of temperature curve),
sandpaper (sandpaper).
At professional words and terms, as a rule, do not have ambiguity and synonyms. They are completely specific. This distinguishes them from all the others. For example: Easel, print, tweezers, accommodation, assimilation, diaeresis, anacrusis, clause, etc.
Professional words are sometimes incomprehensible in meaning, because their meaning means specific action and often words are borrowed from foreign languages.
For example, a cook prepares fondue - this is such a dish and a dancer performs fondue - this is such a movement.
The surgeon uses a scalpel a common person uses a knife.
professional words belong to the vocabulary of a narrow scope of use. Most often, such words are not used actively in the speech of the general public. Often, professionalisms are terms that are full in every field of knowledge or in production, for example:
amalgam, differentiation, arbitration, isotopes.
Professionalisms sometimes have a literary analogue - a word with a different root.
For example, in the speech of sailors there is a professionalism cookquot ;, and in the generally accepted sense there is a name for this profession cookquot ;, and galley on the ship - this is the kitchen in the generally accepted sense.
This line between true professionalism and terminological vocabulary this sphere is very fragile and thin. abundance technical terms used in works on a production theme, and military terms - in stories about the war.
The abundance of special vocabulary is used by writers to create the situation, the speech characteristics of the characters, and even for a humorous purpose. Here is what A.N. Apukhtin P.I. Tchaikovsky:
Professional words in Russian are a group of words united by one common theme, which are used or in a narrow specific professional activity, such as, medical terms, or are they words that have certain meaning, but in this particular profession, these words have a completely different semantic load. Examples of professional words:
Mathematician - root, task, hyperbole.
Medic: angina pectoris, encephalopathy, epicrisis.
Builder: collar, winch, bucket.
And many others.
Professionalisms are found in every area of activity, only some are widespread, and some are known and recognizable in a narrower circle.
For example, professional words can be distinguished by the following list:
Professionalisms are words that are commonly used in certain area activities, professions. There are even special dictionaries professionalism, which contains words from the most different areas activities. For example, bottle in the speech of sailors means half an hourquot ;.
Professionalisms, therefore, are most often used within the same professional group.
PROFESSIONALISMS- These are special words that are used in the field of a wide variety of professions. A significant part of professional words is terminological in nature.
In science, art, agriculture, industrial production - everywhere there are terms.
For example, as a mathematician by education and profession, I have always used mathematical terms: integral, differential, equation, names trigonometric functions(sine, cosine, tangent, etc.).
Musicians naturally use musical terms, for example: fugue, overture, chord, gamma, backart, dominant, minor tone.
Professional words are special vocabulary characteristic of a particular profession.
However, it should be noted that professional vocabulary is used not only in a certain environment of people united by one professional activity.
It is also used in journalism and fiction so that the reader can imagine the environment in which a character of a certain profession works. Hero speech artwork may also contain terms related to its activities.
So, for example, many of our classic writers (Turgenev, Aksakov, Nekrasov, Tolstoy and many others) used the so-called hunting terminology: fallen(hidden hare) hang on tail(chase the beast with hounds), copalo(sharp lower fang of a boar), accept the beast(take away the hunted beast from the dog), wheel(loose tail of a capercaillie), etc.
There is even a Dictionary of hunting terms. Of course, there are various other dictionaries that list professional terms associated with a particular profession.
Words used by representatives certain specialty or professions are called professionalisms.
Professional words in ordinary speech are rare. They can be heard if you ask some employee to tell in more detail about his activities, about what he specifically does.
For example, in the medical field, the following words can be attributed to professionalism:
Professionalisms are words that are used in the oral speech of people in the environment of a narrow profession. They are often confused with professional terms. However, this different words, even if professionalism is recorded in the dictionary, the mark professionalismquot ;.
Examples of professionalism:
The spare tire is a wheel for drivers, paws are quotes for a text editor, a corral is a pre-written text for newspaper editors, a billhook is a welder's hammer.
Professional words are those words that are used between people of a certain profession or specialty.
For example, in medicine - history, diagnosis, hypotension; for sailors - cook, galley, keel, fairway, rynda; for artists - watercolor, airbrush, aquatint, etching, impasto.
Professional words, like dialect ones, are used only by people of certain professions. These words are most often not dictionary words, but many of them have already entered common use among people of other professions. dialect words are words that are used only in specific regions. Examples:
For example, the military often say charterquot ;, buildingquot ;, orderquot ;.
And teachers often use terms such as rulerquot ;, meetingquot ;, plankquot ;.

- Well, Alik, how is your caries?
I just shrugged my shoulders.
- I don't have any caries.
- How about your tooth? Have you had a filling already?
It was only then that I realized what was the matter: a week ago I had a toothache and they treated it at the clinic.
But, in my opinion, it is much easier instead of the words caries and put a filling to ask: "Did you cure the tooth?" But I didn't argue! You won't convince them.
