STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL-ECONOMIC TERMS: SIMPLE, DERIVED, COMPOUND, AND TERMINOLOGICAL UNITS

This article examines the structural organization of contemporary English financial-economic terminology, with particular attention to simple terms, derived terms, compounds, and multi-word terminological units. The study aims to identify the principal structural patterns used to name financial and economic concepts, describe their morphological and semantic characteristics, and determine how structural organization affects translation into Uzbek. A descriptive comparative approach is employed. The analyzed terminology is grouped according to the number and type of lexical components and the degree of semantic and terminological unity. The analysis shows that simple terms form the basic lexical layer of the system, while derived terms expand this layer through productive affixes expressing processes, states, qualities, agents, and relations. Compound and multi-word units are especially prominent because economic concepts frequently involve relationships between institutions, processes, instruments, policies, and measurable variables. In the analyzed distribution, simple terms account for 13 percent and derived terms for 24 percent, whereas compound and terminological units together account for 63 percent. The findings also indicate a close relationship between structural type and translation strategy. Simple terms generally have direct Uzbek equivalents; derived terms often allow morphological adaptation; compounds may require calquing or semantic adjustment; and longer terminological units frequently require descriptive translation. The study contributes to terminology research and provides practical implications for bilingual economic dictionaries, translation practice, and the teaching of financial-economic English.
