Abstract
The paper describes the degree of implementation of the English noun temperature semantic structure, which functions in three text corpora included in scientific-technical discourse. The chosen texts are referred to different fields of scientific knowledge to obtain the generalized results the researchers can applied to any branch of science and engineering. In order to study the semantic structure of the word temperature the definitions of several normative dictionaries have been considered: Dictionary by Merriam-Webster’ (Learners’ Dictionary), some variants of Marriam-Webster’, Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English, Oxford English Dictionary. The results of contextual analysis show that the essential reduction of “temperature” semantic structure takes place in the texts of the chosen specialties as compared to the one presented in the dictionaries. It turns out that only a single lexical-semantic variant is implemented in the considered texts.
