МЕТАФОРИЧНА НОМІНАЦІЯ ЯК РЕПРЕЗЕНТАЦІЯ МЕДИЧНОГО ЗНАННЯ
METAPHORIC NOMINATION FOR THE REPRESENTATION OF MEDICAL KNOWLEDGE

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the research is to reflect the metaphoric nomination as a way of representation of medical knowledge, to identify semantic groups of terms formed by means of secondary nomination with the help of metaphoric transfers, sources of metaphorization, to reveal internal connections between the primary meaning and the scientific concept formed on its basis in clinical terminology in infectious diseases. Methods of investigation: a method of observation, a descriptive method for the systematization of terminological units, the method of analysis for the evaluation of each complex term in the semantic and cognitive aspects, as well as for the generalization of linguistic facts were applied in the research. To clarify the semantic structure of lexical units, the methods of component analysis were used, and for the isolation the linguistic phenomenon into separate groups, the method of systematization based on differentiated characteristics was used. The scientific novelty of the research is that it is the first experience in description and systematization of the medical terms of the subsystem of infectious diseases formed by metaphorization. Conclusions. It is argued that when creating a secondary nomination by metaphorization method, the dominant motivational characteristic is selected from the original meaning – the similarity of generally unequal objects or phenomena according to their characteristic properties, attributes or relations that perform the function of internal semantic motivation. New metaphorical denominations are based on thinking processes and mental representations of a man about the world; create new specific metaphorical concepts through which the language structures reflect the new cognitive frameworks of knowledge, concepts, related to the sphere of human activities associated with medicine. Metaphorical terminological nominations are subjectively meaningful, processed and reinforced by the experience of previous generations medical knowledge.
