The European Commission Glossary as a Terminology Guide to the Enlargement and Eastern Partnership of the European Union

The article is devoted to the linguistic analysis of EU — Ukraine relations, in particular from the lexicographic perspective. The aim of the study is to characterise the Glossary of the European Commission (hereinafter — EC), one of the EU institutions dealing with the Eastern Partnership policy. For this purpose, the author clarifies the issues of documents on Ukraine’s European integration course, the subject matter of the Glossary as an index of terms to the EC documents, and substantiates the peculiarities of forming its register and dictionary entries. The theoretical basis of the analysis is provided by the provisions of computer lexicography on electronic reference books and approaches in translation studies to the reproduction of supranational EU terms in Ukrainian.
