Problems of termination in the works of Russian scientists and translators of the XVIII - first quarter of the XIX century
Russian scientists and translators of scientific works of the XVIII - early XIX century on the creation of Russian national terminology are considered in the article. Textbooks and manuals of this time seriously raise the issue of creating a national terminology, emphasizing its importance and difficulties in solving it. The plan outlined by M.V. Lomonosov solves the problems of the relationship between Russian national elements and foreign-language borrowings, defines the role and place of the vernacular language, dialect and vernacular vocabulary. Statements by Russian scientists and translators on termination issues indicate a preference for terms "in the native language", but the possibility of "reasonable and careful" borrowing of foreign terms if necessary is not denied. The opinions of Russian scientists are of considerable interest.
