Abstract
The paper analyzes the structural features of the English-language eponyms of the International System of Units, which have not been studied in linguistic works. Structural features are understood as belonging to certain parts of speech (nouns, adjectives, etc.) and composition features (such as one-element, two-element, three-element and multicomponent eponyms). The aim of this study is to analyze the structural features of English-language terminological units, derived from proper names (joule, pascal, etc.) in the International System of Units. The research material includes 150 SI terminological units presented in English. Finally, regarding the achieved results, it can be concluded from the research that the predominance of two-element eponymic models in the terminological system of SI tends to express scientific concepts laconically.
