Zoonym, crocodilian, structural analysis, component, nomination, terminology, lexis, herpetology.Abstract
This article examines the structural characteristics of 23 crocodilian names in the English language. Zoonyms are analyzed based on the number of components, covering models from single-word names to complex three-component phrases. The study reveals a significant predominance of bilexemic (two-component) nominations in the naming of crocodilians in English.
