Abstract.
The author basing on the English language material and in the light of categorization and conceptualization considers lexical units that denote the notions originating as a result of urbanization, and analyzes lexical units that denote urban infrastructure objects from the position of prototypes theory. Prototype models are effective characteristics of descriptive nature, which are multi-featured bundles of experience. Each category is based on its own ideo-syncretic row of key signs, which quantity and features are not clearly expressed, and basing on prototypes theory it eliminates the boundaries in the study of urbanonymous vocabulary.
