Abstract

Key words:professional jargon, metaphorization, metonymization, antonomasia, suffixal derivation, compound words, phraseological units.

The article analyses structural-semantic features of English business jargon expressions, their productive word-building means and regular derivational patterns. Professional jargon is considered as a complex of stylistically low words and expressions, used exclusivelly in informal professionally-orientated oral speech. The analysis of metaphorization and metonymization peculiarities as well as peculiar features of morphological derivation with the use of stylistically-marked suffixes is made. Professional jargon is distinguished by its figurative, emotionally expressive character.
