CONCEPTOSPHERE OF MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY
The article deals with the terms-metaphors, which include two systems of knowledge about the world: everyday knowledge reflected in the metaphorical picture of the world, and scientific knowledge, which is consistently embodied in terminology, thereby forming the conceptual sphere of medical terminology. It is noted that conceptual metaphors serve as a tool for understanding and comprehension of any abstract sphere in terms and concepts of a more well-known, concrete sphere. Metaphorization is considered in this article, as in modern cognitive studies, through the prism of General scientific theory of integration. Key words: conceptosphere, world view, conceptual theory of metaphor, terminology, medicine, cognitive studies.
