Abstract

The article deals with the issues of international terms, the ways of term building andtranslation. The authors of the article consider the term building based on the terminological systemof mining industry. As a result of research on translating international terms of mining industry in theEnglish, Kazakh and Russian languages, the major ways of word-building calque, and several types ofsemi-calque have been defined. The authors proposed classification of semi-calque internationalismsbased on the principle of forming semi-calque from both SL and TL, and the borrowed lexical material,i.e. complex semi-calque, consisting of the whole units; complex compound semi-calque, consisting ofequivalent in Kazakh/Russian and international term; complex semi-calque, consisting of the internationalelement and Kazakh/Russian term; and complex compound semi-calque, consisting of translated affixesand international term.
