Abstract
The theory that nominative processes extended through centuries to systematic formations of special terminological meanings of professional Old and Middle English marine terminological vocabulary had already been explained in different ways based on an evidential linguistic material. There is no doubt of the historical and philosophical approaches employed to describe the ancient language representation of the native speakers’ world, as well as of the role and degree of their participation in the formation of nominations inclusive of those of ancient seafaring vehicles. Having been referenced repeatedly, both conceptually and through documents, they had confirmed their right to exist.
 In several topical articles, terminological units have already been represented by a synonymous series of proper nominations for the seafaring vessels (boats/ships) of various types by respective lexically-organized terms according to their word-formation, structural and content design in the Old and the Middle English. Despite the apparent decline of interest towards the subject of historical nominations in general, and the history of the English Marine language in particular,thereare unsettled challenges in the field. Specifically, more clarity is required regarding the incentives, degree of participation and the role of extralinguistic (human) factor in the history of a vessel-name formation, as well as in the mode of operation of the nominative apparatus for the above marine terms with respect to the of intralinguistic (language) factors involved.
Highlights
The solution of problems referring to the description of the origin of the terms naming the sea crafts in the history of the English is directly concerned with the study of the means of expressing a given concept, i.e., onomasiology
The onomasiological aspect of historical semantics, in conjunction with the historical nomination that reveals the specifics of the nomination as a term-naming process, has until recently been recognized by the community of linguists and historians as a crucial one
One should pay tribute to those scientists-historians in linguistics staying faithful to Germanic languages studies, and who continuously raise issues on the formation of the historical nomination in the field of OG (Old-Germanic) lingual-and-cultural studies. (Arakin, 1955)
Summary
The solution of problems referring to the description of the origin of the terms naming the sea crafts in the history of the English is directly concerned with the study of the means of expressing a given concept, i.e., onomasiology. The onomasiological aspect of historical semantics, in conjunction with the historical nomination that reveals the specifics of the nomination as a term-naming process, has until recently been recognized by the community of linguists and historians as a crucial one. It is used for obtaining the most far-reaching and most adequate representation of the structure of an OE and MdE (Old and Middle English) terms’ meaning. The \nominee objectively is often not individualized. In the mind of a nominee, the necessity and possibility of establishing a synonymous series of subject-
