Methods of Cognitive Linguistics for Research of Animal Diseases Terminology

The article considers the main methods of cognitive terminology and t their application to the study of the animal diseases terminology. The study of terms in the cognitive aspect involves the selection and description of their key concepts, the identification of the main categorical features, the unification of identical concepts into categories of this field of knowledge; presentation in the form of schemes (frames) of individual fragments and the entire structure of science as a whole. Among the above-mentioned methods of cognitive linguistics, it is proposed to use categorization, conceptual and frame analyzes and theories of conceptual metaphor. Examples of the study of terms for animal diseases with the application of conceptual analysis methods are given in a complex way, using the method of frame analysis by S. Zhabotynska, which consists in modeling the concept by combining different types of basic frames. The frame approach was used to determine the informational (conceptual) scope of the terminology of animal diseases, since with the help of a frame it is possible to imagine both the structure of a separate concept and the schematic organization of all accumulated knowledge related to animal diseases. It has been established that the names of diseases are structured in the mind of a specialist according to the categories of "space", "object", "causality", "signs", "quantity", "time". Using the selection of epistemological categories, conceptual features of each category and a bank of terminological tools for their display are established. The study of terminology by means of cognitive linguistics involves the method of presenting conceptual metaphor and metonymy, which allows us to reveal the professional world pictures in a certain field. On the basis of the theory of conceptual metaphor, the cognitive mechanisms of metaphor application to terms were considered and the main donor domains that served as a source of metaphorical nominations of animal diseases were clarified. The study of term systems with the involvement of cognitive analysis methods and the construction of specific cognitive models gives a perspective for a more in-depth consideration of their formation processes and functioning. The methods of cognitive terminology provide an opportunity to understand not only the formation and development of professional concepts and categories, but also their hierarchy, organization, and structure
