چکیده:
The article studies ornithonyms, names of birds in the English and Tatar languages with the purpose of comparative study of their semantic structure. Attempts to compare the semantic volume of ornithonym-words in two languages are made. Studying this lexical-semantic group may help to define associations and symbolic meanings which particular birds are endowed with. At the same time, when studying associations, it is necessary to distinguish those associations which are based on traditional, sociohistorical judgments of the certain realities peculiar only to speakers of this language

Studying this lexical-semantic group may help to define associations and symbolic meanings which particular birds are endowed with.
The relevance of a subject of research is caused by the fact that studying the structure of a word meaning promotes disclosure of national and cultural features of the English and Tatar languages speakers.
The following tasks were set to achieve this goal: - to determine the semantic volume of omithonym words and to study associative and symbolic components of meanings of these words.
Omitonim DUCK, in the Collins English Dictionary the following definition is given: "A duck is a very common water bird with short legs, a short neck, and a large flat beak" (Explanatory dictionary of the Tatar language, 2015).
For identification of full semantic volume of an ornitonim of CROW, besides dictionary definitions, it is necessary to consider the metaphorical, symbolic meanings and associations connected with this bird.
Observations of this bird were resulted by the first symbolic meaning of an omithonym.
Summary Thus, semantic properties of such omithonyms as duck and crow in the English and Tatar languages differ, first, with different quantity of semes, secondly, with quality of semes.
In semantic structure of omithonym words, besides semes, found out in the dictionary definitions, it is necessary to include symbolic and associated meanings of this or that bird.
The isomorphic relations of semantic structures of lexical units' omithonyms of the English and Tatar languages are observed in denotative aspect of their meaning.
