MAIN PROBLEMS OF LINGUISTIC LOCAL ANALYSIS OF REGIONAL ONOMASTIC MATERIAL
The article deals with the problem of extracting historical, cultural and socio-cultural information from the units of regional onomastics. The subject of the study is the specifics of the application of linguistic local history analysis to collect information related to the history and culture of the region from proper names. The paper characterizes for the first time the methodology of linguistic local history analysis of onomastic units. In the course of the study, the main parameters of the linguistic local history analysis of regional onyms were determined. It is noted that the linguistic analysis of local lore in the broadest sense of the word includes the following techniques: historical information about the settlement whose onomasticon is being studied; linguistic local history commenting on linguistic facts (bringing some information from the history and culture of the region to confirm or refute the etymology of the onym, its local attachment); linguistic local history description of the units of the onomastic system (characterization of onomastic units based on the involvement of information from the history, geography, ethnography, archeology of the region); proper linguistic local history analysis, consisting in a comprehensive study of the semantics of the onym, the motif of the nomination, the features of the functioning of the onym on the basis of proper linguistic and scientific local history data: historical (including archival), geographical, archaeological, biological and others. The paper notes that the linguistic local history analysis of the units of regional onomastics allows us to establish the information preserved in the proper name, which conveys information about the history and culture of the region.
