Abstract
Cognition is considered a dynamic and negotiable process in which the creative
potential of language plays an important role. The belief in the importance of diversity
in human languages for efficient communication and as a catalysts for cognition
(Evans and Levinson 2009) is reflected in new trends of flexible data and
knowledge management and is beginning to show its impact on terminology studies.
Renewed interest in both the dynamics of cognition and the creative potential of language has changed the perspectives on the creation of neologisms in special languages, on the monosemy versus polysemy debate, on research concerning ambiguity, synonymy, metaphor, phraseology, etc. Nowadays
terminology research materializes in interdisciplinarity combining insights developed
over the last decades in terminology theory with tools and methods from
e.g. cognitive linguistics, corpus linguistics, sociolinguistics, semiotics, knowledge
engineering and statistics.
