how to rename sections in latex

How can i give another name to the main sections of a scientific paper in Latex? So instead of 'References' i wanna write a different title, instead of 'Abstract' another, and so on.

Regards

For references \bibname is defined in the book class, but not in the article class. The latter is using \refname.

thanks! helped me a lot.

Just to help other fellas, it did not work for me before \begin{document}

I did it just before \part as below:

\renewcommand\partname{Capítulo}
\part{\textit{Conjuntura regulatória}}
\chapter{\large MATRIZ ENERGÉTICA BRASILEIRA}

worked as a charm.

Redefine any of the following commands:

  • Abstract: \abstractname
  • Appendix: \appendixname
  • Bibliography: \bibname
  • Chapter: \chaptername
  • Contents: \contentsname
  • Index: \indexname
  • List of Figures: \listfigurename
  • List of Tables: \listtablename
  • Part: \partname
  • References: \refname

So, for example, 

\renewcommand\refname{My References}

The list comes from The LaTeX Companion, 2nd edition, page 34.
