Summary/Abstract: The present article examines affixation (prefixation and suffixation) as one of the morphological methods for term nomination in the field of marine engineering. The analysis is based on a comparative Bulgarian – English study and provides a possibility for the processes to be analysed simultaneously in both languages. For the purpose, a corpus derived from a variety of specialized written sources is composed and analysed. A large variety of affixational derivatives is described and the most productive patterns are outlined.
