This work is motivated by the growing interest in cognitive linguistics and the ways in which we understand the world and perceive extralinguistic reality, particularly in the context of medical terminology. The aim of this article is to conduct a comprehensive study of the medical terminology in both English and Kazakh, highlighting the connections between the frames within the field of medicine as reflected in these two languages. To model the medical terminological system, we employed the frame method, which is well-established in both Kazakh and foreign linguistics. Additionally, we utilized a theoretical approach and comparative analysis to examine the medical terms in English and Kazakh. The article addresses the development of the medical terminology system while considering contemporary aspects of cognitive linguistics. We constructed a frame scheme based on linguistic data from both languages, identifying the main macrocategories, subframes, and slots within the medical terminological system. We drew parallels between the linguistic and lexico-semantic completeness of the subframes and slots through examples from dictionary entries in Kazakh and English, and we established relationships among terminology used across different medical fields. The findings presented in this study can serve as a foundation for optimizing and systematizing the terminological systems of national languages, particularly in the realm of medical terminology.
