Аннотация

The research concentrates on the vernacular and originally Romanic lexis in the 14th century technically-oriented instructive text of Geoffrey Chaucer’s “Treatise on the Astrolabe”. The focus is on the etymology and its influence on the semantics of technical terms. The research reveals the tendency for denoting abstractions by borrowings, contrary to native lexis denoting material concepts. The research can be of interest to specialists in lexicology, etymology and history of the English language.
