The scope of clinical terminology in the branch of clinical and experimental endocrinology is fairly extensive in general medical terminological system. Thus, the researches of above-mentioned sublanguage in clinical medicine at linguistic analyses on functioning in dictionaries and scientific works will allow to distinguish not only the linguistic aspects of the professional terms, but also will help the specialists to master the etymology of professional terms. Both linguists and doctors point out to modernity and appropriateness of the researches in clinical and experimental endocrinology. Endocrinology is considered the oldest terminology on the example of which, it is possible to trace the ways of becoming, development and perfection of terms, realization of semantic processes, certain tendencies, methods and facilities of word-formation, and also functioning of these facilities exactly in different branches of medicine. Тhe object of our study is to show the methodological research of eponymic vocabulary and to consider the particular structure of medical terms – eponyms through the prism of systematization. The actual material that we have received as a result of a total choice of terms - eponyms (there were 296 terms) of the above «Reference dictionary for endocrinologist», leads to the conclusion that these terminological units may be found in different semantic constructions.
