Generally these sorts of things are called homomorphisms. It's a terribly general term, but that's the one I've always seen to describe that pattern.
g is a "list homomorphism", if you want to get specific. Equivalently, it is the "list functor induced by f". (A functor is a morphism between categories. Lists form a category, and g is a morphism from lists to lists, since it is a homomorphism). I guess you can call the homomorphism characterization "the list homomorphism induced by f"
