Abstract

This article examines the relationship between cognitive linguistics and terminology. The research analyzes the cognitive foundations of terminological units, their conceptual structure, and the role of mental models in the formation of terminological systems within the framework of modern linguistics. The results indicate that the cognitive approach allows us to understand terminology not merely as a lexical layer of language, but as part of the human conceptual system and the cognitive structure of professional knowledge.
