SOURCES OF FORMING OF THE TAJIK AGRICULTURAL TERMINOLOGY
Agriculture in Tajikistan continues to occupy a significant place in the General system of the national economy. The main factor that stimulated the unprecedented flourishing of agriculture in was the transformation of an individual small economy into a large public economy. Cultivation of vegetable and melon crops is also developing. Before the revolution, such crops as potatoes, cabbage, and tomatoes were almost not grown by the local population, and in the mountainous regions of Eastern Bukhara, in some places they were unknown at all. Currently, these crops are widely spread and recognized; in recent years, special attention has been paid to the introduction of vegetable and melon crops in suburban areas, as well as in areas where natural conditions are particularly favorable for their growth. Features of forming of the Tajik terminological plant cultivation sphere are considered in the paper. Its major sources are original Tajik elements (lexical units of Common Slavonic, Eastern Slavonic and properly Tajik original) on the one hand, and borrowings from languages, on the other hand.
