Abstract

This research focuses on the identification and analysis of specialized terminology used in English-language texts related to hydromelioration—a field concerning the reclamation and management of water and soil resources. Employing corpus-based methods, the study compiles a collection of authentic texts, including scientific articles, technical manuals, and project reports. Using linguistic tools, it examines the frequency, distribution, and contextual usage of domain-specific terms. The analysis highlights common collocations, terminology clusters, and semantic fields, offering valuable insights for translators, subject-matter experts, and students. The findings aim to enhance terminological understanding and contribute to more effective communication within the field of hydromelioration.
