Abstract

Metaphorization of Computer Terms Summary In the process of forming computer terms, metaphorization occurs at different levels. The productivity of a particular method of term formation is determined by the features of a computer terminological system. Numerous linguistic facts show that a model based on existing similarities, including similarities in external features and functions, plays an important role in the formation of computer terms. Key words: cognitive linguistics, metaphor, computer term, word formation, metaphorical transfer
