The terminology of these fields is relatively stable, characterized by terminological diversity, thus allowing to draw sufficiently general conclusions. Three cases are to be considered: (a) first, the metaphor as a powerful source of terms, assuming the denominative function, (b) the terminological metaphor which leaves a certain domain and which penetrates into the general language, which is sometimes called determinologization, and, (c) finally, the terminological metaphor migrating from one specialized domain to other terminologies in which it is newly used to denote another concept, this phenomenon sometimes being referred to as transterminologization. The three processes are analysed and documented, using French and Czech examples, excerpted from specialised texts (encyclopaedic dictionary and newspaper articles).}, type={Article}, title={Terminological metaphor in Czech and French terms from the field of astronomy and astrophysics}, URL={http://czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/129099/PDF-MASTER/2023-02-LINS-05.pdf}, doi={10.24425/linsi.2023.146649}, keywords={metaphor, French language, lexicology, semantics, specialized discourse, term, terminology, terminologization, determinologization, transterminologization, astronomy, astrophysics}, }
