This paper explored the problem of forming a secondary nomination in the English veterinary terminology on the example of terms for animal diseases. The aim of this study is to reveal the secondary nomination as one of the ways to replenish the terminology denoting animal diseases. Methods applied were continuous sampling of language material, classification, definition analysis and a descriptive-analytical method. Based on the collected lexicographical material, selected from the English veterinary dictionaries, the features of metaphorical and metonymic transferences, which serve for the formation of the English terms, nominating animal diseases have been revealed. The thought processes aimed at the formation of the secondary nomination are described. Layers of vocabulary that are sources of metaphorization and metonymization, such as metaphor, types of metonymic constructions, are considered. A conclusion was made about extraordinary activity in the term creation of metaphorization processes based on the use of signs of some subject areas to denote others. Based on the theory of conceptual metaphor, the main donor domains that served as a source of metaphorical nominations denoting animal diseases were identified. Terminological units for the designation of animal diseases arising as a result of metonymy are analyzed; the most productive models of metonymic transpositions are highlighted, which is important for their systematization and standardization. The study of metonymic transpositions in veterinary terminology makes it possible to clarify the specific features of the nomination of new concepts in veterinary medicine. Metonymic reinterpretation, compared to metaphorical, is a less common form of semantic transformation, including veterinary terms. Terminological units arising as a result of secondary nomination constitute a special part of the veterinary terminology vocabulary denoting animal diseases and reveal a close connection between language and thinking in the acts of secondary nomination.
