Theoretical foundations of transformation and nomination in modern English

Abstract

This article examines the theoretical foundations of the processes of transformation and nomination in modern English linguistics. Special attention is paid to the linguistic nature of transformation as a mechanism of structural and semantic change, as well as to nomination as a means of naming and conceptualizing objects, phenomena, and processes in language. The study analyzes key theoretical approaches developed in structural, cognitive, and functional linguistics, highlighting the interrelation between transformation and nomination in the formation of lexical and syntactic unitsThe research emphasizes the role of nomination in reflecting human cognitive activity and linguistic worldview.
