Abstract:
The article discusses the activities of the Terminological Commission on the Ossetian language,
which played a large role in the formation of special and industrial vocabulary. The authors analyze
the principles of compiling terminological dictionaries, the range of problems that arise when
choosing possible options for nominating lexemes, the difficulties created by distance and the political
system of that time. The commission consisted of educators and scientists who worked in specialized
institutions in the South and North of Ossetia, who had completely different points of view on the
principles and mechanisms of introducing new terminology into scientific circulation. The difficulties
arising in the compilation of terminological dictionaries were associated not only with linguistic
problems, but, to a greater extent, reflected the political processes that took place in that historical
era when any member of the commission could be unfairly accused of nationalism only on the basis
of the fact that coined the term using the means of the Ossetian language itself and did not use
international or borrowed vocabulary. The analysis of the materials of dictionary entries and the
activities of the Terminology Commission on the Ossetian language in the 20-30s. of the XXth century
confirmed by archival documents, which recorded observations and notes of eyewitnesses of those
events and the members of the commission themselves. The relevance of the study is increasing in
connection with the creation in our years of an interstate terminology commission, which, as before,
includes specialists from both South and North Ossetia, who develop the terminology of various
industries that need to update the nomenclature of terms, such as vocabulary office work, state and
municipal administration, etc. The socio-political vocabulary and terminology, economic and legal
terminology, in which, in connection with the development of society, are constantly undergoing
dramatic changes and neological outbursts, require renewal.
Keywords: Ossetian language, terminology commission, South Ossetia, North Ossetia, term
