Signs of Denotate as the Motive of the Nomination of the Correlative Name (within the Area of Slobozhanshchyna).

Abstract

In this article we have investigated the features of the creation of the names of natural geographical objects: rivers, lakes, girders, basins, ravines, which became generative for oikonimnyh tokens and which were established according to the results of the study of the source base of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The investigated material was grouped according to the lexical-semantic series with names, motivated by certain features, based on the toponym nomination. At the same time, the main thing for hydronyms is the nature of the noises created by the water, the speed of the flow in the river, its taste and color, as well as the smell and temperature. For other layers of toponymic vocabulary, an important factor in creation is the "floristic" semantics, which indicates the presence or absence of vegetation elements, etc. In addition, amongst the external features the determinant ones are the features of the shape of the object, its geophysical parameters and features related to the surrounding fauna. Toponims that were marked by the presence or absence of water or moisture in the river or in the area were also identified. A number of toponyms with semas are sufficiently complete to indicate the color of the object.
