MODEL NAMES OF MEDICINAL HERBS AND THE USAGE OF EPONYMS IN THE NAMES OF MEDICINAL HERBS IN FRENCH, RUSSIAN AND LATIN

Summary/Abstract: In the last quarter of the XX century, one of the central problems of linguistics was the study of the human factor in the language. The term eponyms are a unique concept, the individuality of which reflects their own names. Eponym is a term that contains its own name (anthroponym or toponym). Today it is difficult to find a branch of science, where in one way or another, eponyms are not used. There are many of them in the names of medicinal plants. In parallel with eponyms, we also chose the model of the name of medicinal plants, reffering Dictionnaire de la médicine français-russe. We have identified many examples of how different types of medicinal plant names (mainly French, Russian and Latin) are used and the use of eponyms in the names of medicinal plants. The usage of eponyms in the names of medicinal herbs and methods of formation of different models of the names of herbs on the material of French, Russian and Latin has been analyzed in the following article. The examples of the usage of medicinal names of herbs as well as the examples of various models of the names of herbs formation have been analyzed in French, Russian and Latin. The borrowings from Latin in the analyzed languages are numerous among the nouns. Taken into account that many kinds of medicinal herbs are in threatened condition, in this perspective, it is desirable to consider using of eponyms in the names of medicinal herbs in modern medical discourse, specify them, and to compose a special French-Ukrainian (and vice versa) dictionary which would most reflect the needs of users. According to the results of the research, it should be noted that the widespread usage of eponyms that are the part of the terminology system and have their own models of formation is a typical feature for botanical terminology. Eponyms play a significant role in interlingual communication. They function as a part of a language culture and obey morphological, grammatical and phonetic rules of the language in which they are used. Undoubtedly, eponyms in the names of medicinal herbs have an international character.
