Abstract. The article examines the problems of formation and functioning of medical terminology. According to the author, medical terms represent a certain component of lexico-semantic language system and possess the features typical for each semantically valuable element of language system. The author believes that, choosing the most suitable term from the variety of linguistic means to designate a certain object or phenomenon, the human being usually focuses on the means which are most efficient to achieve a certain goal. Consequently, he often relies on the principle of rational and reasonable which is associated, first of all, with the conception of rationality. The mentioned conception is examined as a criterion of synonymy in terminology.
Key words and phrases: синонимия, терминология, рациональность, медицинская терминология, проблемы терминологии, synonymy, terminology, rationality, medical terminology, terminology problems
