The purpose of this investigation is to explore the denotative-nominative classification of English pictonyms. English ideonyms are the object of the research. The subject is English pictonyms as a subtype of ideonyms. One hundred English pictonyms were selected as the material for this research from the catalogues of the National Gallery (London), the National Gallery of Art (Washington, D.C.), and specialized art websites. Ideonyms are divided into seven subclasses, including artionyms, biblionyms, geortonyms, poetonyms, hemronyms, documentonyms, and chrononyms. A pictonym is a subclass of imageonym, which is a subclass of artionym.
