Abstract

The paradigmatic relations of metalinguistics turn out to be one of the few manifestations of the systemic qualities of the verbal inventory of the natural language. In turn, to describe a natural language (“object language”), a metalanguage is used - the language of the “second” level, while the concept of “metalanguage” is much more voluminous than just the concept of “terminology (=terminosystem)”. This article examines the elements of the linguistics terminological system, first of all, paradigmatic relations are associative relations based on partial similarity between lexical units of the same type by some attribute, while at the same time distinguishing by some other attributes. The metalanguage of linguistics is not an initially defined (preceding scientific research) system, but is the final stage of a linguistic phenomenon, which is based on systemic relations between lexical units (including between terms), explicitly reflecting the principle of unity of expression and content.
