Abstract

The purpose of the article is to summarize the results of a study of the so–called color terms - professional terms of the English language, consisting of a noun with an adjectival attribute, in the role of which the color designation acts. The study examines the ways of nominating various documents with the help of such color terms via metaphorical and metonymic value transfers. For the purposes of the analysis, the authors select terminological structures, the nuclear word of which means "document/documents". It is determined that most of these color terms belong to the sublanguage of economics, while a smaller part of it belongs to politics. The authors also dwell on the need for linguistic and cultural explanations of the origin of the term during English classes.

Keywords:

color terms, document, metaphor, metonymy, hyphenation, phrase.
