TERMS. 
 
Terms are words denoting various scientific and technical objects, phenomena, processes etc. Terms 
abound in special texts, in the scientific style. In this case their function is merely that of 
communication. But when terms appear in the belles-lettres style, their function changes. Their main 
stylistic function is to create the true-to life atmosphere. Terms are used to create a historical 
background, local colouring, elevation, humorous atmosphere of the narration. For example medical 
terms which appear in Cronin's Citadel are used to create a true to life atmosphere of a hospital, ward, 
laboratory. 
"Good", Abbey said in a friendly manner. He took up a specimen- it was an aneurysm of the ascending 
aorta- and began to question Andrew. 
When used in the direct speech of personages terms become a means of their speech- characteristic. In 
the belles-lettres style terms can also be used with a parodying function, thus creating humorous 
effect.( An example from Stephen Leacock^s Perfect Lover's Guide, p.227) 
BARBARISMS 
In the course of its development the English language has borrowed a considerable number of 
words from foreign languages, which have greatly enlarged the English vocabulary. The largest group of 
borrowed words are of French and Latin origion.There are also words from Russian Soviet: intelligentsia, 
perestroika. 
Many borrowed words undergo phonetic and morphological changes in accordance with the laws 
of development of the English vocabulary. Some retain their native spelling and pronunciation: tete -a- 
tete (face- to face French). 
The stylistic function of barbarism is to create the local colouring, to stress that the action takes 
place in a strange country, to characterise the speaker - to show through his speech his foreign origin. 
And now the roof had fallen in on him. The first shock was over, the dust had settled and be could 
now see that his whole life was "kaput". ( J.Braine )
