Lace products with a component-toponym (on the basis of English language)

The paper carried out lexical and etymological analysis and compiled a thematic classification of toponyms in the names of lace products on the material of English language. The author draws attention to the fact that the names of lace products include: needle lace, guipure lace, bobbin lace, embroidery, slotted embroidery, ribbon lace and machine lace.

The results of the study can be used in the preparation of single and bilingual onomastic dictionaries, in the compilation of courses and special courses in onomastics, toponymy
