Abstract:

The aim of the article is an attempt to systematize Polish cosmonomastic terminology. A separation was proposed between cosmonomastics as a part of onomastics dealing with the names of cosmic objects, and astronomical chrematonomastics as a part of chrematonomastics dealing with the names of human products that are used to research the cosmos. The existing terminology was analyzed from the point of view of the rules of creation of scientific terms. Moreover, certain terms were clarified and a number of new ones proposed. It was also assumed that cosmonomastic terms should be of foreign origin, like the astronomical terms on which they are based. Thus, guidelines for the possible formation of future cosmonomastic terms were suggested.
