Abstract

The study determines the specifics of the structural and word-building organization of the microtoponymicon of the villages Liubyni, Volia-Liubynska, and Sarny of the Yavorivskyi district of Lviv region. The factual material has been collected under a special program. Based on the structure, the microtoponyms are divided into simple, complex, compound, and the names that have the form of the prepositional constructions. It has been established that simple names dominate in the indicated localities. Lexico-semantic word building is the most productive way of the derivation of the microtoponyms in the studied villages. Many of the registered names were formed as a result of the semantic transformation of the appellatives without the usage of the toponym building affixes. The microtoponyms are derived from common names with non-derivative and derivative bases in the singular and plural forms. A small number of microtoponyms are formed from the appellatives with non-derivative bases. Most microtoponyms that have the lexico-semantic type of word formation are derived from the appellatives with derivative bases. Appellative-based microtoponyms with derivative bases in the singular nominative case prevail. Individual appellative-based microtoponyms formed in a lexico-semantic way are based on the dialectal words. Besides the onymisation of appellatives in the microtoponymicon of the villages Liubyni, Volia-Liubynska, and Sarny of the Yavorivskyi district of Lviv region, we have identified the transonymization within the lexico-semantic type of word formation. Toponym-based and anthroponym-based microtoponyms are distinguished within the group of microtoponyms that are derived from the proper names. As a result of the research into the names of the simple structure, we have singled out the microtoponyms formed by the morphological method of derivation, in particular, suffixation. Several microtoponyms formed due to lexicalization of names in the form of the prepositional constructions were identified among the names of the simple structure. Two structural types of compound microtoponyms of the studied localities of the Yavorivskyi district have been distinguished: the compounds of two notional words and prepositional compounds (preposition + notional word). Keywords: microtoponym, onymisation of the appellatives, transonymization, lexico-semantic method of word formation.
