Abstract

In this article we aim to observe the denominative variation in the Medical field, especially with regard to term influenza A H1N1. We briefly show the process of terminological genesis and how the proliferation of new terms takes place. Our starting point is the understanding that the terms, besides being cognitive components of knowledge areas, represent a technical, scientific and technological knowledge; under the linguistic-communicational point of view, they are units of natural languages capable to vary as well as lexical units.
