Abstract. The national fuel and energy complex (FEC) is the basis for the development of various industrial and economic sectors of the state, so the interest in the features of linguistic representation of different spheres of the FEC is found in modern linguistic studies. Linguistic units of FEC form the term fields ‘gas,’ ‘oil,’ ‘shale,’ ‘coal,’ ‘peat,’ which are the object of this linguistic analysis in order to establish the semantic and structural types of FEC terms, to identify their functional features in different types of discourse, as well as to determine their linguistic specifics. The relevance of the study is due to the description, typology and classification of the lexicon of special spheres, its cognitive-discourse analysis. The results of the study are important for understanding the semantic scope of key term fields and their constituent linguistic units related to coal, gas, oil, peat and shale resources in the context of fuel and energy discourse. In texts about the oil and gas industry, in business discourse abbreviations, initial abbreviations and borrowed words are actively used; a productive model of FEC term formation is word clipping. The constant improvement of hydrocarbon production, processing and transportation technologies used in the fuel and energy complex allows us to identify thematic groups of linguistic representation of fuel and energy complex organizations, innovative technologies, types of oil and gas production, their modernization, specific names of objects and substances. The result of this study is the definition of the language field of the fuel and energy complex as a ‘term field’, which is an element of the linguocognitive paradigm, the linguistic means of which are actively used in modern Russian business communication of the fuel and energy complex (nuclear zone — ‘coal,’ ‘gas,’ ‘oil,’ near-core — ‘shale,’ peripheral — ‘peat’) and determine the energy landscape that makes an impact on world economy and on international relations.

 

Keywords: specialized terminology, fuel and energy complex, innovative technologies, business discourse, abbreviation, reduction, borrowing, thematic groups.
