This study explores the notion of referent in terminology, focusing on body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). We delve into the relationship between object, concept, referent, and term, highlighting their interdependence and their impact on the perception of this pathology. With a questionnaire, we analyze the denominative variants of BDD and examine how these terms shape the mental representations of this medical condition, often generating negative connotations.

Abstract

This study explores the notion of referent in terminology, focusing on body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). We delve into the relationship between object, concept, referent, and term, highlighting their interdependence and their impact on the perception of this pathology. With a questionnaire, we analyze the denominative variants of BDD and examine how these terms shape the mental representations of this medical condition, often generating negative connotations.
