The article deals with the problem of semantic roles' distribution in the frame VIRUS designated by the term virus in the computer virology discourse. The study is conducted in the framework of the cognitive discursive paradigm of modern linguistics and comprises the following linguistic approaches to the studies of language for special purposes: cognitive terminology, frame-based terminology, and frame semantics. The article gives a brief overview of the development of computer virology with reference to mental framing of the key aspects in the field. A frame is considered as part of context and a situation model representing a real-life event. Ch. Fillmore's frame semantics and the identification of deep cases or semantic roles are used as the main method of data analyses. We have analyzed the most typical plans of semantic roles' distribution in the frame VIRUS. The semantic roles of the frame VIRUS include Agent, Counteragent, Object, Addressee, Patient, Result, and Instrument. It has been found that besides the most distinctive distribution of semantic roles in the frame VIRUS, showing that the malicious program is conceptualized as the aggressor and a computer or its user as a victim, which correspond to the roles of the Agent and the Patient, there might be the frames with a virus in the role of the Counteragent, the Object, the Result, the Instrument, the Patient, and even the Place. We come to the conclusion that analysis of the roles' distribution helps to determine relations among the event participants and the way the situation is conceptualized and represented in the form of mental models in human minds. In the Discussion section we illustrate the occurrence of typical semantic frames in popular culture, namely in films and television programs. With these we prove the relevance of the approaches and methods chosen to reveal the peculiarities of conceptualization in special areas and connection synergies between language, thought, and communication.
