Our purpose is to present research done in Ukraine on terminology-related questions. We address three aspects: theoretical questions studied, automatic terminology-related tools and existing terminological resources.

conference термінологія і сучасність Terminology and Contemporaneity) has been held for the 10th year in 2015. Українська (Ukrainian the internationally recognized journals and conferences. Accordingly, the main body of the scientific work is currently published in Ukrainian. Another fact is the domination of theoretical work, although computational methods are emerging. We present various realizations in the terminology area across three lines: theoretical questions, automatic terminology-related tools and existing terminological resources and their utilization. 1.1
Terminology research in Ukraine is an active area, although the main terminological work shows mainly theoretical and linguistic orientation, such as: • history of national lexicology, computational lexicography and terminology (Самойлова, 2004; Ivashchenko, 2013); • history of national lexicography and terminography dictionaries starting from XVI century and up to the modern times (Балог, 2004); Кузан, 2000); • computer problems related to the standardization of terminology (Рожанківський and • semantic processes in the modern Ukrainian terminology (Тищенко, 2004).
On the whole, the research in terminology is similar to the research work done in other coun1.2
tries, although the geographical and political sitThere are very few automatic tools for the termiuation in Ukraine is specific: poor development nology work. We can cite Part-of-Speech taggers: during and after the soviet period, overwhelmUGtag tagger (Kotsyba et al., 2009) which does ing neighborhood of the Russian society, first not perform syntactic disambiguation and the TNT years of the opening of Ukrainian researchers to model for Ukrainian (Babych, 1997). 1.3
Several specialized areas have been addressed in
order to propose their terminological description:
• physics
Memetova, 2007).
These are mainly descriptive studies which aim is to confine the area and to identify the main notions and terms.
In accordance with the recent international
orientations, new research directions of the area aim
at:
• building the electronic corpora (Kelikh et al.,
2009; Демська, 2011),
• using electronic corpora for the building of
terminologies and dictionaries
Up to now, very few works are oriented on the use of terminologies. The currently addressed tasks are related to the software localization (Shyshkina et al., 2010), and to the indexing of speech therapy terminology (Лалаєва et al., 2004).
The majority of these resources are not freely available, although some of them can be queried online: the national corpus of the Ukrainian language1 (Дарчук, 2010) and online dictionaries2. 2
The terminological research is an active area in Ukraine. It is dominated by theoretical work and is mainly published in Ukrainian. Nevertheless, as 1http://www.mova.info/corpus.aspx?l1=209
the topics researched are similar to those studied in other countries, we believe that the Ukrainian research community will be soon well positioned and recognized at the international level.
