Abstract
The article is concerned with the need to analyse the external motivational feature of clothes nominations with the national and cultural component of meaning in English and Ukrainian. The main lexical spheres of clothes names transferring in both languages have been established, as well as a comparative analysis of the revealed vocabulary has been made. An individual with their physical and emotional qualities, traits of character is at the basis of external motivation. There are nominations of household objects and mechanisms that surround him in life, as well as the names of topographic objects, river names and flora and fauna names. The research reveals the main ways and means of word-formation of the proper and common names vocabulary which are also indicators of their national and cultural semantics for both languages. Proper names, which are motivated by the clothes names and their elements, are formed by means of semantic derivation in the English language and lexical and semantic method in combination with affixation in Ukrainian. It has been established that the Ukrainian language is characterized by the formation of personal names by adding an adjective (colour name) and the noun proper, whereas in English such nominations have not been recorded. In the reference sources of the Ukrainian language we can also find hydronyms which origin is connected with the clothes names in one way or another (names of rivers and streams). These nominations are formed by direct metaphorical transfer of the name. At the same time there are no such hydronyms in the English language. The common names, which are motivated by the names of garments and their elements, are formed mainly by means of semantic derivation (metaphor) in both languages under study. As a result it has been discovered that not all clothes names have the same cultural potential to denote objects of other lexical spheres in both contrasted languages.
