Polysemanticity and Wide Meaning in Terminology (Based On Sports Terminology)
The article analyzes the issues of polysemy and broad meaning of terms in the Kazakh language, identifies their differences and similarities, and provides characteristics of these words from linguistic and extralinguistic positions. Definitions of terms are taken from the dictionary of the Kazakh literary language, with examples provided from industryspecific terminological definitions and translation dictionaries. The correspondence of the terms to the concepts they denote is taken into account. The study presented the views of international and domestic researchers on the phenomenon of polysemy and broad meaning. A comparative analysis of word structures (technical, linguistic, and others) was conducted, and the requirements taken into account in their creation and the problems they solve were identified. The study utilized methods of abstracting, describing, comparing, contrasting, analyzing, and modeling to examine issues related to the polysemy and broad meaning of terms. The results of the study demonstrated that polysemy and broad meaning play an important role in the development of the Kazakh language's terminological system. Identifying the semantic properties of terms ensures their systematicity and accuracy in scientific and professional use. Based on the analyses and comparisons conducted, it was established that when forming and systematizing terms, special attention must be paid to semantic precision and scientific consistency.
