Abstract

The article discusses the features of the formation of nomina in the theatrical terminology of the English language. Various points of view on the issue of differentiation of nomenclature names, terms and words of the general literary language are presented. In the sample, 81 nomenclature names were found, making 10% of the total number of terms in 849 units. It was found out that these nomina belong to the following thematic groups: lighting and sound equipment, decorations and technical devices, names of theaters. The analysis of the nomenclature of theatrical terminology made it possible to divide them into two groups: proper nomenclature names and meta-nomenclature names. The research results are presented in the form of a table. The connection between nomina and terms has been established, which allows us to assert that nomina represent the next stage in the development of terminology and are the most accessible way of forming a large number of new names for various concepts.
