DYNAMICS OF RESIDENTIAL COMPLEX NAMES IN UKRAINIAN DIALECTS IN THE NORTH OF MOLDOVA
The article analyzes the dynamic processes that occur in the Ukrainian dialects in northern Moldova. These areas present a great scientific interest because of the historic residence there of the ethnic Ukrainians in the conditions of a different ethnic environment. Ukrainian diaspora, distant from the sources of the literary Ukrainian language, has not only retained their native language in a certain conservation, but is also influenced by other cultures and languages, including Romanian and Russian, which has been manifested in numerous language interference. The household vocabulary of daily use experienced the greatest impact. Therefore, this article discusses the thematic group of residential complex vocabulary and marks the differentiation of individual nominations in the speech of dialect-informants from different age groups. It describes changes of some lexemes semantics, and also analyzes the functioning of lexemes of Romanian and Russian origin. It is proved that the investigated manifestations of dynamics are caused by both lingual and non-lingual factors, among which the main factors are interlingual contacts with the Romanian and Russian-speaking population, the development of material culture, the decrease in the number of older people.
