. The article analyzes the features of the category of process in epizootological terminology and identifies a set of language tools in English that serve to express this category. The studied category is widely used in epizootological terminology. This is due to the variety of concepts of epizootological science, the number of forms of manifestation of the epizootic process, the evolution of veterinary knowledge, which is reflected in the semantics of terms. The purpose of the article is to study the role of the processes category and its linguistic expression in the epizootiological terminology of the English language. Materials and methods of research. The source base of the work was the terms obtained by the method of continuous sampling from lexicographic sources on epizootology. The main methods used in the study were systematization and categorical analysis of epizootiological terms. Results of the research. It is revealed that the following subcategories of the process are reflected in the veterinary terminology of epizootology: proper processes, states and events. The subcategory "proper processes" represents changes, the distinguishing feature of which is the development over time, duration and mode of the epizootic. Terms that objectify such signs express different types of movement and routes of transmission of infectious disease. The subcategory "state" is a special kind of process characterized by relative staticity. In the studied terminology, the category of condition is presented in the nominations of diseases, as well as physiological and pathophysiological conditions. The subcategory of "event" is represented by epizootological terms that nominate methods of treatment and prevention of infectious diseases. The author characterizes the linguistic means of the category of process in English: specialized morphemes, special vocabulary, syntactic constructions that carry procedural information. Сonclusions. It is determined that the category of process is widely used in epizootological terminology, as it is one of the basic categories used to classify the concepts of epizootology.
