Abstract

Abstract:

Being the integration of terminology and cognitive linguistics, cognitive terminology represents the latest trend in terminology study. From a cognitive terminology perspective, terms are not only the crystallization and representation of specialized information, but also the result of cognitive processing by categorization and conceptualization. Cognitive terminology adapts itself to the development of linguistics from prescriptive approach to descriptive and explanatory approach. The naming of Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia fully demonstrates the major roles played by mainstream theories like Conceptual Metaphor theory, Conceptual Metonymy theory, Conceptual Integration theory, Frame Semantics and Prototype Theory. Consequently, cognitive terminology is the perfect integration of cognitive linguistics and traditional terminology.

Key words: cognitive terminology, Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia, naming
