It considers main groups of such realia: those which contain in their structure components referring them to a certain linguoculture; English lexemes which nominate a phenomenon or an object existing in other territories of the country but having acquired special importance for a certain linguoculture; English lexemes which denote phenomena unique for one of the Celtic cultures and a group of realia which nominate elements of Celtic culture by Celtic words, word combinations and sentences. A thematic classification of 15 groups of realia is offered and peculiarities of functioning in the text of some of them are shown.
