Abstract
Introduction. The problem of determinologization of terms from the field of psychology is caused by their transition from the sphere of professional communication into spoken everyday speech, as well as into the mass media, in particular, television. The reason for this is the popularization of psychotherapeutic care. The comparison of the scientific meaning of psychological terms with their contextual meanings allows us to identify the features of the course of this process. The relevance of the article is based on the lack of works devoted to the processes associated with the loss of psychological terms of their terminological meaning outside the framework of scientific discourse.
Materials and methods. The terms from the field of psychology and their meanings fixed in special dictionaries of psychological terms, as well as contextual meanings found in modern entertainment TV shows served the material of the work. General scientific and special linguistic methods were used.
Analysis. The author examines the meanings of psychological terms fixed in psychological encyclopedic dictionaries and dictionaries of psychological terms and identifies psychological terms that are most susceptible to the process of determinologization. These include terms that primarily denote the processes, conditions and results of performing specific actions aimed at a person, as well as terms denoting the emotional states. The author comes to the conclusion about the nature of the determinologization process by highlighting the vertex generic and specific semes in the definitions of the named lexemes obtained as a result of the analysis of the contextual use of psychological terms.
Results. Thus, the author shows that the process of determinologization is widespread in the speech of the heroes of modern entertainment TV shows, as a result of which the psychological term may partially or completely lose its terminological meaning.
