| Description | In recent years, research on terminology from a Cognitive Linguistics view has come to the fore (Faber 2012). Adopting a frame-based approach, Faber suggest using extensive corpus data to extract the conceptual meaning of a term and to establish the conceptual organization of its domain that is built around an underlying domain event, which can be analyzed in terms of templates that consists of generic roles (agent, patient, instrument, result...) and core predicates (cause, make, become...). However, despite of its contribution, such approach does not provide the grammatical and collocational structures that are employed to express the conceptual meaning of a term in question. Therefore, we propose a synergy of Hank's (2012) cognitive profile with Faber's frame-based approach such that we can have a clearer picture of the actual usage of terminology in context. |
