Abstract

Pharmaceutic discourse is a special cultural code which forms a cogniolinguistic field that is related to the manufacture and consumption of medical products. Medicinal herbs as raw materials are one of the nominative objects in this code. The term combines two origins – conspective and evocative that interact with each other during the process of evolution of word symbols. The poetic word of myths and legends records the main objects of nature, plants with healing properties and their aesthetic value. Picking and making medicines, as well as treating have always been accompanied in history by magic exorcism. These extralinguistic factors are fixed in the language.
