The systemic-and-dynamic approach based on the recent achievements of applied linguistics is proposed for the studу of terminological systems and their development in specialized discourse. To illustrate the methodology US legal terminology has been analyzed; the time-framed lexical reproducibility coefficient has been calculated on the basis of the corpus of the US Supreme court decisions from 1893 through 2009.
