The research considers the characteristics of the professional identity of a modern Russian scientist. We provide a definition for the professional identity notion and define the problems the scientists face in the course of their activity. In particular, these problems are associated with a vague hierarchy of occupational roles and a poor command of foreign languages that may create obstacles for the professional development and the formation of strong professional identity. Finally, we draw the conclusions on the factors affecting the formation of a strong professional identity in scientists.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the onomasiological structure of clinical terms in veterinary medicine. Derivative names with formant -osis, selected from professional dictionaries and manuals, are considered. Onomasiological features were identified: the manifestation of the disease, its cause, the characteristics of the patient animal, diseased organ or part of the body, the geographical area in which the disease was detected. Conclusions are drawn about the predominance of a rational connection between the onomasiological feature and the pathological process, the predominance of metonymic nominations over metaphorical ones.

The role of the principle of self-sufficiency in providing cognitive properties of educational terminological dictionaries and narrow-profile dictionaries representing microterminosystems of medicine and biology is analyzed. The most general features of dictionaries that hinder the cognitive process and make it difficult to master the terminological system as a whole are considered. These include the use of terms that have not been defined in the dictionary, the lack of attention to the presentation of synonyms, and the use of a cluster arrangement of terms in an educational dictionary. The main reasons for the departure from selfsufficiency and measures to comply with it are discussed.

This article describes the reason for formation of consubstantial lexemes in the terminological field “surgical instruments” in the German language. The results of the analysis of the terms of this terminological field show that integration of the medical and common vocabulary, as well as the trends towards differentiation and specialization was the main characteristic of the conceptual apparatus of medicine throughout the whole existence of medical science in Germany. The process of terminologization was accompanied by a partial reconceptualization of commonly used lexemes. The presence of consubstantial lexemes in the terminological field “surgical instruments” suggests that scientific knowledge is based on the results of everyday knowledge.

Recently, a large number of abbreviations have been used in the medical literature. Abbreviations can be found in medical protocols, reports and medical histories. The article explores the concept of abbreviation as an integral part of modern medical discourse and one of the means of effective professional communication.

The main purpose of the study is to analyze the problems associated with the translation of medical abbreviations, as well as various approaches in solving these problems. For the correct translation of abbreviations, it is necessary to analyze their structure.
