Abstract
The purpose of the article is: to show psycholinguistic peculiarities of understanding by Ukrainian students the principles of nomination of linguocultural models “clothing” in the English and Ukrainian languages.
 The methods of the research are: theoretical ones – categorical and structurally-functional analysis of the texts, the methods of systematization, modeling, generalization; empirical methods – the analysis of lexical units, the experiment. For the purpose of studying the motivation of linguocultural units we used “The methods of studying of motivation by linguocultural units of the thematic group “clothing” in the English and Ukrainian languages” (Mykhalchuk & Ivashkevych, 2020).
 The results of the research. For the understanding of linguocultural units of the thematic group “clothing” in the Ukrainian language the laws of organization of usualized (a priori) and actual (a posteriori) communicative meanings, their interaction, movement, etc. are quite important. For understanding linguocultural units of the thematic group “clothing” in the English language it is sufficient superficial perception of lexical units that denote the nominations of clothing, understanding the features of their motivation, in particular, verbs, nouns and adjectives, as well as mastering the form of presentation of this or that lexical unit.
 Conclusions. As a result of the research psycholinguistic features of students’ understanding of linguocultural units of the thematic group “clothing” in the English and Ukrainian languages were established. Productivity of students’ understanding of linguocultural units of the thematic group “clothing” in the Ukrainian language is determined by (a) the deep meaning of lexical units; (b) semantics and spatio-temporal meanings of linguocultural units; (c) syntactics of lexical units; (d) verb and noun basis of clothing nomination; (e) various connections between explicit concepts (metaphorical and metonymic transference); (f) assertive content of the nominative unit denoting “clothing”; (g) understanding of inferences, implications, intentions of the expressionж (h) explication of usualized (a priori) communicative meanings.
Highlights
In psycholinguistics, researchers define «nomination» as a combination of generalizing content and speech activity, as well as the person’s thinking (Drigas, & Karyotaki, 2017; Gathercole et al, 2004; Koizumi & In’nami, 2013; Rezaei & Mousanezhad Jeddi, 2020)
In contrast to the English language, where this category is not represented at all, in the Ukrainian language in the studied thematic group we have identified four linguocultural models, formed on the basis of the motivational feature by «method of production»: –– валянки – winter shoes, boots, pile of wool; –– дублянка – a coat made of leather, made by the method of tanning; –– мережива – a network woven mesh fabric for processing of linen, clothes; –– стьоганка – a jacket made of quilted material.

Summary
Researchers define «nomination» as a combination of generalizing content and speech activity, as well as the person’s thinking (Drigas, & Karyotaki, 2017; Gathercole et al, 2004; Koizumi & In’nami, 2013; Rezaei & Mousanezhad Jeddi, 2020). The theory of nomination has the aim to provide primarily studying the process of transition from the facts of surrounding us reality to the facts of speech (Alahmadi et al, 2018; de la Garza & Harris, 2017; Hecht et al, 2001; Pimperton & Nation, 2010). In such a way in each individual speech act this process is perceived as specific and unique one (Dale & Duran, 2011; Shiva Ram et al, 2017)
