Abstract:

The term Paradigm was first put forward by Kuhn, an American scholar, and has a strong inclusive and theoretical explanatory power. After the term was integrated into the humanities research, it plays a super explanatory power. The status of Russian terminology in science has been undergone a long evolution, during which the nature, research and analysis methods of terminology went through significant changes, and it has come through multiple paradigms in its own development process, from historical comparison to structuralism to cognitivism. These paradigms constantly change and interact with each other, so that Russian terminology has made great achievements in the field of theoretical innovation and practical application.
