ТЕРМИНЫ РОДСТВА В ТОПОНИМАХ ЮЖНЫХ РЕГИОНОВ РОССИИ

Abstract

The authors of the article investigate the process of fixing kinship terms in geographical names of the Astrakhan, Volgograd, Rostov regions and the Krasnodar Krai. Toponyms formed from kinship terms are considered as a special category of words reflecting historical, linguistic and social load. In the course of the study, the authors analyzed more than 6 thousand toponyms, 498 of them are geographical names of the Astrakhan region, 1567 of the Volgograd region, 2374 of the Rostov Region and 1897 of the Krasnodar Krai. The sampling was carried out according to three classes of toponyms (oikonyms, astyonyms and hydronyms), selected by a continuous sampling method from regional toponymic dictionaries, dictionaries of geographical names of Russia and on the official websites of designated subjects of the Russian Federation. 
 The general direction of the research is to study the main directions of extrapolation of kinship terms, in connection with which the purpose of this work is to determine the presence of kinship terms among regional toponyms as a reflection of the "family" and "spatial" codes inherent in the linguistic picture of the world of the native Russian people. The novelty of the work lies in the proof of the typological nature of kinship terms, presented by the example of regional toponyms. The study was conducted using descriptive and comparative methods.
