Abstract

Changes in the women’s social status, their establishment in various spheres of professional and socio-political activities have led to the need to present women in life spheres, including those that have traditionally been considered male. Therefore, it is quite logical that in the Slavic languages, which developed in the space of post-patriarchal society, the female names are most often formed from male personal names. However, the regularity of their creation, even in closely related languages, is different. The article is devoted to the Slovak language in the 20s and 30s of the 20th century feminine subsystem development state. The productivity of the main word-forming feminizing forms of the Slovak language is studied on the basis of the texts of the Slovak National Corpus, the frequency of using female names of different lexical and semantic groups is studied, The character and tradition of the development of the Slovak language feminine subsystem, the neighboring Czech language influences on this subsystem, which were inevitable during the existence of the joint Czechoslovak state formation, are outlined. Particular attention is paid to the characterization of femininities to denote a woman as a socially active person. There are tendencies to the regularity of the creation of paired female correlates to male gender and personal names. The results of the research can be used to study certain language processes in Slavic languages in a comparative aspect, in particular, to study the female lexicon of the Western Ukrainian version of the Ukrainian language, which in the 20-30s of the 20th century developed in close contact with the languages of the Western Slavs.
