Morphologized concept bio- in the processes of conceptual derivation of the english biotechnological units

Olena Syrotina
Abstract

The paper explored the English morphological concept of BIO-, which is one of the most active in the processes of conceptual derivation of biotechnological linguistic-mental units. It was used to create a number of lexicalized concepts that are actively used at the verbal level of explication of information, reproducing the importance of naturalness (biology) and the importance of biotechnology or the connection with the biosphere. Formed on the basis of the lexicalized BIOLOGY concept, the morphologized BIO- concept, which means “living organisms”, took part in the formation of lexicalized concepts that demonstrate the development of biological technologies. Such lexicalized concepts are a source of replenishment of such thematic categories in the field of biotechnology as biological object, methods and technologies, processes, activity, devices and apparatus, and professions.The creation of new concepts based on existing concepts is ensured through the action of conceptual derivation. Having received linguistic representation, new concepts become an integral part of the conceptual system, creating, in turn, the basis for its further development and maintaining derivational links with the original structures. The morphological concept of BIO- is characterized by high activity in terms of conceptual derivation of English biotechnological units, as evidenced by a significant number of lexicalized concepts represented in the study
