Summary/Abstract: In our research Sources of neonymy in the Romanian medical lexis, a theoreticalapproach of the concepts of neonymy, terminology, metaphorization from a typological, analytic,comparative, descriptive-linguistic perspective is proposed with application and examples from medical language. The objectives of the research: definition and status of neonyms, migration of terms,determinologization, terminologization, terminological metaphor. Our focus is on the terms stemmingfrom French and semantic neologisms – among which terminologization and metaphorization. Someconclusions: there are no clear boundaries between lexical neologisms and neonyms – inside thelinguistic system, due to conceptual dynamics, the tendency towards intellectualization of general language as the cultural level increases in a society. Lexical neologisms are not motivated, they establishsynonymic relations, have a stylistic, aesthetic, emotional, phonetic value, being characterized byconcision in terms of structure. Neonyms are motivated by the need to designate in terminology, theyeliminate synonymy and have, at structural level, analytic forms – syntagm, phrase and sentence types.Keywords: terminology, specialized metaphor, specialized lexis, cardiology
