The study subject is the German computer terminology; the study object is the emotionalexpressive meaning component of the terms. The article relevance is to specify the modern terminology semantic processes. Studying computer terminology is extremely important, as a level of mutual understanding and cooperation depends on its systematization, unification and standardization in all spheres of the world community. The study scientific novelty is in revealing metaphorization problems
as they are rather complex, spontaneous and subjective. The purpose of the article is to examine and describe the emotional-expressive component of terminological meaning in German computer terminology, therefore, the main research envelops in computer terminology have been studied, a sample of German computer terms has been analyzed, and semantic features of the terms have been determined. The findings can be used in the German language teaching, in the development of training aids and dictionaries, in the work of terminology systematization, unification and standardization.
