Abstract. The author considers the meteorological vocabulary of the Gothic and Old English languages. Meteorological vocabulary belongs to the most ancient group of vocabulary. It represents the vital realia that were traditionally animated by the ancient Indo-Europeans. The names denoting such meteorological phenomena as "wind", "storm", "lightning", "thunder" and others were considered as active and animated, which was represented in their morphological structure. The research of this thematic group in view of its remote ages makes it possible to study the residual effects in the morphological system of the noun, which allows reconstructing the ancient Germans’ picture of the world.
