Lobacheva N. Terminology of agricultural lands and woods in Russian written language in XVI-XVII с.

In the thesis for the first time the classification of terminology of agricultural lands and woods is proposed. This terminology is classified as an integral microsystem in Russian written language during pre-national period: the matter of its formation is elucidated; the terminological semantics of lexemes, methods of terminology creation as well as ways of its development are defined more exactly. The common Russian and local lexemes under consideration were being studied from the point of view of their origin, semantic and word-forming structure; territorial spread of nominations was being observed, their history in later periods of Russian language development was being traced. The thesis includes an attachment: a vocabulary of analysed nominations with the meaning of “agricultural lands and woods”, which may be used in the process of compiling of Russian language dictionaries.
