Abstract
In this article construction profession names were investigated using the corpus-linguistic method. We have identified quantitative differences in the functioning of lexemes. The frequency of the functioning of professional names is determined by their structural features. An effective principle for creating professional names is to choose a one-component term that etymologically ascends to international vocabulary. The results of the study revealed significant differences between professions names and also confirmed the relevance of corpus linguistic methods.

Summary
The interpretation of person names meaning by linguists is greatly influenced by works in the field of philosophy. Important differences in person names functions have been established in the works on vocatives and nomination. Most grammarians think that proper nouns are a subtype of nouns, while some argue that they hold a special position. This is based on the fact that each occurrence of the person’s name form is categorically a name and not a derived noun. Person names belong to a functional category shared with other determinants which creates difficulties. There has been much works on the classification of names and the derivational relationship between names and other categories
