Abstract

The results of the contrastive analysis of 500 eponyms in the Ukrainian and English languages are offered in the article. The analysis has been held from the perspective of the lexico-semantic grouping. Three groups have been distinguished: eponyms common for both languages, Ukrainian eponyms, English eponyms. Each of the groups has further been subdivided into subgroups according to the semantic features.
