Abstract
The article deals with diseases nominations in the Scots dialect. The research material includes the Scottish-English dictionaries - “The Online Scots Dictionary” and “Dictionary of the Scots Language”, “New English-Russian Dictionary” by V. K. Muller, “Linguistic Encyclopaedic Dictionary” edited by V. N. Yartseva and medical information sources to study symptoms and signs of diseases. In the modern world, among the diversity of accents and dialects of the British Isles, Scots has a special place in communicative interaction realisation. It is revealed that the dominant feature of a disease nomination in Scots is the nomination of pain/illness according to its localisation in a particular organ or body part. Colour metaphor has been found to be one of the leading types of the secondary nomination of diseases in the Scots dialect.
