ИСТИНА

Terms are regarded to be the main linguistic representatives of LSP. Their cognitive understanding has become the core achievement in cognitive Terminology, where a term is defined as “a verbalized result of professional cognition, a relevant linguo-cognitive means of orientation in the professional sphere of communication” (Manerko 2014: 481). The result of cognition is realized in a term and structures of special knowledge defining its cognitive nature in the terminological system. The analysis of term semantics including familiar, new and transferred elements through knowledge structures located in human brain will be shown on the basis of the spectre of both simple and more complex mental constructs focusing on this variability of concepts on the basis of different types of terms functioning in discourse.
