The prerequisite for resolving the question of the nominative system is the recognition of nominative activity as a subject of linguistic science. The function of nominative activity, which consists of producing nominative units that verbalize and preserve knowledge acquired through human cognitive and emotional activity, demonstrates the driving force behind the phylogenesis of language and linguistic worldview. The aim of the article is to present, in a synchronic cross-section, the trajectory of development of a separate part of the language in the system of nominative units that make up the nominative paradigm of the word anguish. The nominative paradigm of the word anguish reveals its phylogenetic nominative and cognitive potential: the deployment of the producing word anguish and its cognitive analogue - the concept of ANGUISH based on lexicographic sources, as well as texts of fiction. At the first stage, nominative units are combined within the paradigm into zones: lexical, phraseological, derivational, syntactic. The second stage is formed by areas in which the meanings of nominative units demonstrate a change in the concept of ANGUISH, expressed by the original word anguish. Research methods: the method of cognitive-nominative paradigmatization when ordering nominative units, the result of which is the nominative paradigm; semantic analysis at the stage of identifying features; conceptual analysis when describing cognitive domains; comparative analysis of semantic relations; the method of qualitative analysis of the data of the lexical, phraseological, derivational and syntactic zones. The study reveals high productivity in phraseological formation; cognitive incomplete isomorphism of different zones of the paradigm of the word anguish, as well as conceptual signs involved in the development of the concept of ANGUISH: expander concepts with the structure “sign + emotion”; concepts-“targets” expressed by predicative phraseological units; syncretic concepts, represented by phrasal nominative units; metaphorical images-representations of the concept, marked by nominative units-phrases; extra-linguistic concepts based on opposition-enantiosemy, reflected by nominative units-phrases; linguistic concepts marked with a metalanguage, expressed by nominative units-phrases and nominative units-sentences. The results of nominative activity act as the main mechanism of phylogenetic development of language in conjunction with the evolution of cognition. It seems that the obtained research results will contribute to a significant expansion of the traditional understanding of the nominative system and contribute to the study of nomination theory.
