Abstract

The role of object names in the sphere of English everyday vocabulary - members of the categories “Nutrition” and “Clothing” - as carriers of additional semiotic information in semiotically marked situations is considered. The role of language in recognizing such situations is emphasized. The process of formation of the semiotic character of food and dress names in the English language is briefly described. The stated provisions are illustrated with examples from English-language fiction.
