Abstract
This article focuses on studying characteristics of core system-forming modules of the «Higher education» subject area terminology in the modern Russian language. The subject area is a combination of different objects, their properties and relations. Relevant information on them is needed for carrying out any given type of professional activity adequately. Monolexemic and polylexemic terms nominating different aspects of the university level educational process have been studied. The goal of this work is to study and describe the formation of the «Higher education» subject area structure. The methods applied were chosen based on the nature and defining characteristics of both the object of research and the material being studied. The base of those methods is a comprehensive analysis of empiric data, the semantic structure of the terms studied and the thematic classification technique.
Term systems are a unique means of stratification for the whole complex of scientific knowledge and its many branches, forming a distinctive cognitive continuum that preserves all known data on a given form of scientific work in symbol form.
The study findings show that «Higher education» subject area terminology is represented by a unitary integrative continuum that has major stratifying capabilities and is formed by four core system-forming modules: «Educational process participants», «Methods and techniques of education», «Education tools» and «Forms of education». Each module is a distinct unit of classification having its characteristic parameters and is a part of the terminology that is being studied. The terminological continuum of the «Higher education» subject area is characterized by its open structure. It grows and evolves constantly to meet the communicative needs of those working in this professional field.
