The article presents the results of a lexico-syntactic analysis of valency and collocability of English words, related to one semantic group: effectiveness and efficiency . The aim of the research was to study the ability of these words to syntactically and lexically contact with other words, taking into consideration certain difference between their lexical meanings. The objectives included determining semantic variations and analysis of word classes in the left and right contexts. The material, 177,144 words, comprised 700 article titles and abstracts from seven international journals with geological and petroleumrelated specializations. Methods of study involved continuous sampling, classification, and analysis of lexical meanings of relevant words. It was found that the frequency of effectiveness was 40% higher than that of efficiency. Both of them had similarities in syntactic valency: they occurred in identical syntactic structures, however, with different rates of occurrence. The difference is the most obvious in such syntactic structures as N(E)+of+N - characteristic of effectiveness, and V+A+N(E) - specific to efficiency. A typical example of effectiveness was the effectiveness of the proposed method , while that of efficiency - improve production efficiency . Effectiveness collocated more often with method-related notions, whereas efficiency - with processes. The gained data correlate with the definitions: effectiveness has a wider semantic field (which explains a higher rate of its occurrence) and is oriented towards result, while efficiency implies process and has an additional technical meaning. The data can be used in the practice of teaching English as a second language for students with technical specializations and technical translation.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>В статье представлены результаты лексико-синтаксического анализа валентности и сочетаемости английских слов, относящихся к одной семантической группе: effectiveness и efficiency . Целью исследования было изучить способность данных слов вступать в лексические и синтаксические связи, учитывая некоторую разницу в их лексических значениях, представленных в словарных дефинициях. В задачи исследования входило определение семантических различий и анализ частей речи слов в левом и правом контекстах. Материалом анализа стали 700 заголовков и аннотаций статей из семи международных журналов по геологоразведочной и нефтегазовой тематике. Объем материала составил 177,444 слов. Методы исследования включали сплошную выборку, классификацию, анализ дефиниций, синтаксических связей и лексических значений релевантных слов. В результате исследования было выявлено, что частота употребления слова effectiveness на 40% выше, чем слова efficiency . Effectiveness и efficiency имеют сходства на уровне синтаксической валентности: они встречаются в одинаковых синтаксических структурах, однако, с разной частотностью. Разница наиболее заметна в таких синтаксических последовательностях как N(E)+of+N, которая характерна для effectiveness, и V+A+N(E) - для efficiency . Типичным примером для effectiveness может служить the effectiveness of the proposed method ; для efficiency - improve production efficiency . В отношении лексической сочетаемости необходимо отметить, что effectiveness чаще употребляется с лексическими единицами, обозначающими методы, в то время как efficiency - процессы. Полученные данные соотносятся с информацией, полученной из словарных дефиниций: effectiveness имеет более широкое семантическое поле (что объясняет более высокую частоту встречаемости) и ориентировано на результат, в то время как efficiency в большей степени указывает на процесс и имеет дополнительное техническое значение. Результаты анализа могут быть исполь-</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>valency</kwd><kwd>collocability</kwd><kwd>word frequency</kwd><kwd>syntactic structure</kwd><kwd>the English language</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>валентность</kwd><kwd>сочетаемость</kwd><kwd>частотность слов</kwd><kwd>синтаксическая структура</kwd><kwd>английский язык</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Ginzburg, R.S., Khidekel, S.S., Knyazeva, G.Y., &amp; Sankin, A.A.
