MALE NAMES IN KARACHAY-BALKAR FOLK TALES
The article is devoted to Karachay-Balkar folk tales. It identifies and describes the anthroponyms that act as nominations of fairy-tale characters. An attempt is made to consider the structural and semantic features of male personal names. Based on the available factual material, their correlation with related and unrelated languages is determined. The authors have outlined an integrative approach to the study of anthroponyms, which consists in their multidimensional consideration, taking into account knowledge in the field of linguistics, linguoculturology and axiology.
