Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the morphological analysis of English terms of the clinical terminology system, which was carried out on the basis of lexicographic data recorded in English terminological dictionaries for veterinary medicine. Morphological analysis of English terms made it possible to find out what role parts of speech play in the naming language space. Morphological analysis of English terms of clinical veterinary medicine helps not only to understand the structure of the term, but also to understand their meaning and use in the context of clinical veterinary medicine. It is an important tool for understanding the categorization and conceptualization of concepts expressed in English clinical veterinary terms. It is determined that in the English terminological system of animal diseases, term models are used, the components of which are a noun, an adjective and a participle. At the same time, the noun conceptualizes the phenomena of real reality, such as diseases, and emphasizes their functional features, while the adjective and participle provide additional information about the phenomenon, which highlights or specifies its features. Certain morphological patterns may indicate typical relationships between objects, processes and characteristics in veterinary medicine. In addition, a morphological analysis of English terms from a cognitive standpoint can reveal common mental models and representations reflected in the use of terminology. All this contributes to the improvement of communication between specialists of veterinary medicine, contributes to the understanding and use of professional terminology in scientific research, training and practical activities.
