Semasiological and onomasiological approaches.

The process of naming. The nominator and the referent. The stages of the process of giving name (forming a concept of an object, the designation of the class of objects under nomination with the help of linguistic means, defining a set of denotational features constituting the most important part of the meaning (semantic core) and the acquisition of the sound and graphic forms.
