Antonymy in the Terminological System of Logistics in English and Bulgarian

Vol.7,No.1(2017)

Abstract

This paper reflects on logistics terminology and the relationships defining “oppositeness of meaning”. It briefly reviews theoretical assumptions in the sphere of antonymy and offers a classification of antonyms from a morphological and semantic point of view. The examples discussed are excerpted from documented materials standardized and consistent within the area of logistics. The findings are a good starting point for further research in this relatively new complex discipline whose terminological system is still in the process of establishment, evolution and modification. The topic is worth discussing in order to meet our syllabus goals and needs of learners who are going to function in a multinational environment and be faced with varieties of English as the primary language for international communication.
