Somatic metaphors in scientific terminology

Summary/Abstract: The article studies somatic metaphors in Estonian scientific termino-logy, presuming that similar patterns play an important role in the formation of Estonian special vocabulary at large. The study is based on cognitive metaphor theory and presents its links with the theory of terminology and corpus linguistics. The analysis covers terms that contain somatic elements with figurative meaning, found in the science texts of the University of Tartu Estonian Reference Corpus. Such metaphoric terms have been analysed with regard to their structural and conceptual aspects as well as the basis of their metaphorical motivation.
