Keywords: Terminological metaphor; neologism; scientific innovation.

Summary/Abstract: The metaphor is an important neological resource but operated in different ways. We already hold that neological metaphor is not a wrong product of human caprice, but it’s an indispensable instrument for cognition and denomination. In this paper, we will only recall a few lines of neological approach illustrating the use of neologisms.
