The topic “Lexicographic Interpretation of Livestock Terminology in the English Language” examines how terms connected with animal husbandry and livestock breeding are defined, systematized, and represented in English dictionaries of various types. The study focuses on the linguistic, cultural, and pragmatic aspects of livestock-related vocabulary, considering both general-purpose lexicographic sources and specialized agricultural glossaries. Livestock terminology, being deeply rooted in the rural and economic life of English-speaking communities, reflects not only professional and scientific classifications but also regional, historical, and metaphorical usages. Lexicographic interpretation involves issues such as semantic precision, polysemy, synonymy, and terminological standardization, as well as the balance between scientific accuracy and accessibility for the lay user. The analysis highlights the role of livestock terms in shaping agricultural discourse, their metaphorical extension into everyday English, and the challenges lexicographers face in adequately capturing their dynamic usage. The study contributes to the broader field of terminography, agricultural linguistics, and English lexicography by emphasizing the need for consistent and context-sensitive representation of livestock terminology.
