Scientific Research in Xxi Century Nominative And SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN XXI CENTURY Mukhammadieva Risola Kyrgyzboy kyzi Graduate student, Faculty of English Linguistics, Samarkand State Institute of Foreign Languages, Republic of Uzbekistan Bushuy Tatyana Anatolevna Scientific supervisor, Professor, Samarkand State Institute of Foreign Languages, Republic of Uzbekistan NOMINATIVE AND CULTURAL ASPECTS OF ANTHROPONYMS Abstract. Personal names help to overcome language barriers, but in their original language environment, they have a complex semantic structure, unique features of form and etymology, the ability to modify and word formation, numerous connections with other units and categories of the language. This article analyses the peculiarities of anthroponyms, consider the structural features and word formation by exploring the general linguistic properties of proper names. Obviously as an important segment of the linguistic picture of the world, anthroponyms and their derivatives are the subject of a number of studies in modern linguistics. Nevertheless, the word- formation category based on the anthroponyms of the English language has not yet been the subject of special research in the cognitive and communicative terms. The work also analyzes the nominative potential of different semantic groups and types of anthroponyms (English personal names and surnames, as well as female and male names). Keywords: personal names, nickname, surename, nominative unit, anthroponym, intercultural. Names and titles have always played a special role in human’s life since early periods. With finding out the name, people begin to get to know each other. Proper names are extremely important for communication and mutual understanding of people. From common words, among other things it is distinguished by the tendency to universal use. For example, when we move on to a conversation in another language, we have to use different common words in relation to familiar objects and concepts, but we will call the person we know by the same name regardless of what language we will address him in. When choosing a name for a person, the prevalence, popularity, euphony of the name, and social affiliation of the person are taken into consideration. If the name is 298 SCIENTIFIC COLLECTION «INTERCONF» | № 44 formed from a common noun, then sometimes the original meaning is taken into account, even if the name is borrowed, that is the reason to give a translation into the native language in the dictionaries of personal names. In order to avoid names that carry an unpleasant semantic load: Varvara-rough, Foka-seal, Vassa-desert. Naming has had different characteristics in different cultures at each stage of the development of human society. Old English personal names hardly differ from the appellative vocabulary and nicknames (Brun = a) name, b) nickname, c) adjective). According to Leonovich O. A. (2002), at present, only 8% of the names in English anthroponymy are from the Old English period. As a result of the Norman Conquest, the Old English names that were used for centuries almost completely disappeared, the trends of the transition of nicknames to surnames are accelerated, and the concentration of the namesake occurs. The most popular in this period (from the XI century onwards) such names as Ralph, Richard, William, Robert, etc. become manns. At the same time, the power of the church was strengthened, which by the middle of the XV century was so strong that it was able to demand from the faithful the naming of only canonized saints. The Biblical names Simon, John, James, Peter, Luke, Michael - for boys and Margaret, Mary, Catherine, Ann(e) -for girls are became common. In the Middle Ages, it was necessary to accurately write the name given at baptism in documents, since there could be several nicknames and surnames. Only by 1730 the surname inherited by the father finally became official. As mentioned above, some researchers believe that personal names such as John, Ivan, do not have any meanings. P. F. Strawson believes that "a pure name has no descriptive meaning" (NZL, Issue XH 1982., 79). The same name John itself does not contain a description of any particular person and can be used to refer to a wide variety of persons. Outside of the context of communication, it doesn't mean anything at all. This position is partly correct, since personal names or surnames when used regardless of the specific carrier do not have a meaning in the proper name function, but they retain the meaning of gender, number. Personal names are 299 SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN XXI CENTURY registered in explanatory dictionaries and have a stable nomenclature, belong to a certain class, and are known to the entire language team. I.D. Ermolovich in his book “Proper names at the intersection of languages and cultures ”(2001), describes anthroponyms as “… not just labels that attribute absolutely no properties to the referent and do not provide any information about him. But this information is of a slightly different kind than the signs that make up the meaning of common names. Anthroponyms have a conceptual meaning, which is based on the idea of a category, a class of objects.”, and indicates following characteristic features: a) an indication that the bearer of the anthroponym is a person: Peter, Lewis as opposed to London, Thames; b) an indication of belonging to a national language community: Robin, Henry, William as opposed to René, Henri, Wilhelm; c) indication of the gender of the person: John, Henry as opposed to Mary, Elizabeth. Unlike the Russian system of using personal names, where there is a clear division into official and diminutive names, in English, diminutive derivatives gradually become official names {Dick, Cheney, Bill Clinton). In addition, they are used together with the accompanying words of courtesy honorable, reverend, Mr and etc. for example, Dr. Billy. There are names that symbolize belonging to a certain linguistic and cultural community: Russian-Ivan, Uzbek- Anora, Korean – Lee, English, American or representative of any other English-speaking country- John, Irish - Patrick, Pat, Paddy, Mickey. The amount of information contained in names is perceived more fully for a person from the same culture than for a representative of another culture. Personal names, unlike surnames, are not inherited, but are chosen by the parents of the children. Some psychologists study the impact of personal names on the characteristics of the bearers of a given name, including its behavior, propensity for various activities, business success, and even health. For example, an English therapist, Trevor Weston, conducted a study that showed that patients whose names 300 SCIENTIFIC COLLECTION «INTERCONF» | № 44 begin with the letters of the last third of the alphabet are three times more likely to suffer from cardiovascular diseases [Leonovich, 2002; 15]. It can be seen from three researches which have been done in Chicago, accordingly the people with funny or strange names are four times more likely than others to be predisposed to various kinds of mental complexes. "When a child receives a name that can cause ridicule among his peers, it puts him in a defensive position, forcing him to fight for a normal attitude to himself"(Leonovich 2002, 15). In addition, there is an increased sensitivity that occurs in a child with a name that can refer to both a boy and a girl, for example, Marion, Kim, Michelle. Even American adults, such as those with the name William, according to the study, "feel humiliated" when they are addressed as Billy or Willie. They claim that Americans with the names Melvin, Nigel, or Julian tend to study the humanities, while Rory, Rocky, and Chuck are the most common names among boxers and football players (which, because of the brevity, seems quite reasonable). According to a review published by the New York City Public Service the most attractive female names for males are Kristin, Cheryl, Melanie, Jennifer, Marilyn, and Susan. But such names as Ethel, Alma, Zelda, Florence, Mshdred and Edna, cause unpleasant associations among the representatives of the stronger gender of America. The researchers urge parents to choose their children's names carefully. After all, a name is the first gift, except for life itself that parents present to a child and a lifetime gift. But it can be a curse. Psychologist John Train has compiled a whole book of the most ridiculous names that some Americans suffer from. The May family from New Orleans, for example, chose the following "names" for their three daughters: Mu, Boo, Gu. The Jacksons from Chicago literally branded their five children, calling them Meningitis, Laryngitis, Appendicitis, Peritonitis and Tonsillitis." Many names are consistently associated in the consciousness of society with the heroes, characters of literary works, and therefore "pull" their surnames, nicknames and characteristics. These are the so-called endocentric nicknames (the term is borrowed from D. I. Ermolovich): Dorian (Grey), Scarlet (O'Hara), Robin 301 SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN XXI CENTURY (Good), Peter (Pan), Harry (Potter), Winnie the Pooh, Lolita, Desdemona, Iago. In different languages names are associated with epithets, paraphrases, fixed in their meaning: Alice (in Wonderland), John (barley grain), Igor (prince), Oleg (Prophetic). In England, after Cromwell became a head of government in 1653, the name Oliver was not popular for a hundred years. In the list of English personal names we can meet the biblical name Abel, but there is no name of his killer Cain, besides the latter is used in the common meaning of "fratricide". Furthermore, after the Second World War, the name Adolf disappeared from the onomasticon. In Norway, before the Second World War, the name Quisling was popular. But Vidkun Quisling, who led the fascist party during the war, began to symbolize betrayal. The new common noun with a negative connotation quickly spread in many languages. Children were no longer called by this name, and many bearers of the name began to call themselves by another name.

  • The Ancient Mesopotamian Place Name “Meluḫḫa”
    THE ANCIENT MESOPOTAMIAN PLACE NAME “meluḫḫa” Stephan Hillyer Levitt INTRODUCTION The location of the Ancient Mesopotamian place name “Meluḫḫa” has proved to be difficult to determine. Most modern scholars assume it to be the area we associate with Indus Valley Civilization, now including the so-called Kulli culture of mountainous southern Baluchistan. As far as a possible place at which Meluḫḫa might have begun with an approach from the west, Sutkagen-dor in the Dasht valley is probably as good a place as any to suggest (Possehl 1996: 136–138; for map see 134, fig. 1). Leemans argued that Meluḫḫa was an area beyond Magan, and was to be identified with the Sind and coastal regions of Western India, including probably Gujarat. Magan he identified first with southeast Arabia (Oman), but later with both the Arabian and Persian sides of the Gulf of Oman, thus including the southeast coast of Iran, the area now known as Makran (1960a: 9, 162, 164; 1960b: 29; 1968: 219, 224, 226). Hansman identifies Meluḫḫa, on the basis of references to products of Meluḫḫa being brought down from the mountains, as eastern Baluchistan in what is today Pakistan. There are no mountains in the Indus plain that in its southern extent is Sind. Eastern Baluchistan, on the other hand, is marked throughout its southern and central parts by trellised ridges that run parallel to the western edge of the Indus plain (1973: 559–560; see map [=fig. 1] facing 554). Thapar argues that it is unlikely that a single name would refer to the entire area of a civilization as varied and widespread as Indus Valley Civilization.

  • Surnames in Europe
    DOI: http://dx.doi.org./10.17651/ONOMAST.61.1.9 JUSTYNA B. WALKOWIAK Onomastica LXI/1, 2017 Uniwersytet im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu PL ISSN 0078-4648 [email protected] FUNCTION WORDS IN SURNAMES — “ALIEN BODIES” IN ANTHROPONYMY (WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO POLAND) K e y w o r d s: multipart surnames, compound surnames, complex surnames, nobiliary particles, function words in surnames INTRODUCTION Surnames in Europe (and in those countries outside Europe whose surnaming patterns have been influenced by European traditions) are mostly conceptualised as single entities, genetically nominal or adjectival. Even if a person bears two or more surnames, they are treated on a par, which may be further emphasized by hyphenation, yielding the phenomenon known as double-barrelled (or even multi-barrelled) surnames. However, this single-entity approach, visible e.g. in official forms, is largely an oversimplification. This becomes more obvious when one remembers such household names as Ludwig van Beethoven, Alexander von Humboldt, Oscar de la Renta, or Olivia de Havilland. Contemporary surnames resulted from long and complicated historical processes. Consequently, certain surnames contain also function words — “alien bodies” in the realm of proper names, in a manner of speaking. Among these words one can distinguish: — prepositions, such as the Portuguese de; Swedish von, af; Dutch bij, onder, ten, ter, van; Italian d’, de, di; German von, zu, etc.; — articles, e.g. Dutch de, het, ’t; Italian l’, la, le, lo — they will interest us here only when used in combination with another category, such as prepositions; — combinations of prepositions and articles/conjunctions, or the contracted forms that evolved from such combinations, such as the Italian del, dello, del- la, dell’, dei, degli, delle; Dutch van de, van der, von der; German von und zu; Portuguese do, dos, da, das; — conjunctions, e.g.

Bramwell 2011 Abstract Personal names are a human universal, but systems of naming vary across cultures. While a person’s name identifies them immediately with a particular cultural background, this aspect of identity is rarely researched in a systematic way. This thesis examines naming patterns as a product of the society in which they are used. Personal names have been studied within separate disciplines, but to date there has been little intersection between them. This study marries approaches from anthropology and linguistic research to provide a more comprehensive approach to name-study. Specifically, this is a cross-cultural study of the naming practices of several diverse communities in Scotland, United Kingdom.

THE CHARACTER- ISTICS OF POLISH OLD BELIEVERS’ NAMES Magdalena Ziolkowska Nicolaus Copernicus University Abstract. The paper focuses on Polish Old Believers’ anthro- ponymy as the element identifying the group. The Old Believers are one of the ethnic, religious and national minorities in Poland. They came here shortly after the schism in Russian Orthodox Church. They settled down in North-Eastern Poland in the second half of the 18th century. Their descendants live there till now. After coming to Poland, Russian immigrants were living in her- metic, homogenous communities. This protected their religion and culture from strong exterior influence. After the Second World War the community became more open to external world. Nowadays, after a number of civilizing and geopolitical transformations, the isolation practically disappeared making the Old Believers’ culture defenceless against influence of dominant Polish culture. Together with all that changes the Old Believers’ anthroponymy has been transformed. Contemporary Polish Old Believers’ anthroponymy consists of Russian and Polish (in Masuria region – Russian, Polish and German) elements, as a result of bilingualism (and multi- lingualism on Masuria). Keywords: Old Believers, anthroponymy, bilingualism, epitaphs 1. Introduction This paper is focused on the Old Believers’ anthroponymy. The material examined consists of the results of field research con- ducted by scholars from the Institute of Slavonic Philology at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruñ. The source of information about names are gravestone inscriptions.

    2009 LINGUA POSNANIENSIS LI DOI: 10.2478/v10122-009-0010-1 LUSITANIAN PERSONAL NAMES WITH THE EQUINE MOTIVATION KRZYSZTOF TOMASZ WITCZAK ABSTRACT. Krzysztof Tomasz Witczak. Lusitanian Personal Names with the Equine Motivation. Lin- gua Posnaniensis, vol. LI/2009. The Poznań Society for the Advancement of the Arts and Sciences. PL ISSN 0079-4740, ISBN 978-83-7654-080-1, pp. 155–163 The aim of this article is to fi nd an equine motivation for several personal names attested in the territory of the Roman Lusitania. New or better Indo-European reconstructions (e.g. *melyos and *ku-melyos ‘horse; stallion’; IE. *kǝnkilos and *kǝnkanos ‘horse’, as well as the root *kǝnk-) in reference to the animal terminology are suggested. The distribution of the refl exes of IE. *ek̂ wos ‘horse’ and *kǝnkilos / *kǝnkanos ‘id.’ in the area of the Hispanic Peninsula is carefully explained. Finally it is concluded that the horse and bull were the most esteemed animals in the culture of the ancient Lusitanians. Krzysztof Tomasz Witczak, Department of Linguistics and Indo-European Studies, Philological Faculty, University of Łódź, ul. Lipowa 81, PL – 90-568 Łódź Two important publications devoted to remains of the Lusitanian language appeared in 2005. The fi rst one contains studies in the language and religion of the ancient Lusitania, dealing with, though not exclusively, interpretation of the preserved Lusitanian inscriptions and reconstructing the Lusitanian phonology and vocabulary (WITCZAK 2005). The second is a monumental elaboration of the ancient anthroponymy registered in the Lusitanian area with numerous references to the onomastics of the adjacent regions of the Hispanic Penin- sula (VALLEJO RUIZ 2005).

Partindo desse princípio, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo apresentar uma nova proposta de classificação para a taxe dos antropotopônimos, contribuindo, assim, com a memória cultural da cidade de Ponte Nova (MG) por meio da investigação da Toponímia urbana. Adotaram-se como princípios teórico- metodológicos, recomendações da Toponímia e de disciplinas afins, com ênfase no modelo de classificação taxionômica de Dick (1990). Esta pesquisa insere-se no Projeto ATEMIG – Atlas Toponímico do Estado de Minas Gerais, sediado na Faculdade de Letras da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (FALE/UFMG). Esse projeto caracteriza-se como um estudo dos nomes de lugares que abrangem todo o território mineiro. Seguindo uma metodologia comum, usada por diferentes pesquisadores, em vários estados, o Projeto ATEMIG adota o “método das áreas” ou dialetológico, utilizado por Dauzat (1926), e as categorias taxionômicas que representam os principais padrões motivadores dos topônimos no Brasil, sugeridas por Dick (1990). O corpus constituiu-se dos 410 antropotopônimos presentes no total de logradouros urbanos da cidade de Ponte Nova – Minas Gerais e foram analisados e organizados de acordo com a data em que foram criados, com a mudança de nomenclatura, com o gênero que representam, com a diferença gráfica entre os nomes grafados nas placas e os oficiais apresentados nas leis e decretos.

It reviews the most significant works in toponymy and anthroponymy, the field’s two main branches, as well as disciplines that are less developed in the country, such as astronomy. Particular focus has been placed on the new research uncovering the traces left by the Thracian language in modern Bulgarian onomastics. The work presents some conclusions concerning the contributions of onomastic science in Bulgaria in the past few years. Introduction In the beginning of a new century, Bulgarian onomastic science continues to pur- sue the goals originally set by its founders. After a very productive and successful period in the second half of the 20th century, onomastic research has in our day become a rather exotic discipline. The difficult conditions Bulgarian science faced in the last thirty years have inevitably reflected on the development of onomastics and the most pressing problem is the scarcity of young specialists. In this context, the two main research centres continue their scientific work and their efforts are mainly focused on toponymy and anthroponymy.1 As a result, a number of onomastic science branches remain underdeveloped, like for example chrematonymy, literary onomastics, zoonymy, etc.

It is a contribution to the overall revitalization of our endangered language. To recover Secwépemc traditional names that our ancestors from Skítsestn and Tk̓ emlúps were given during the 19th and early 20th centuries, I worked with archival records such as Baptisms 1867-1882 and Marriages 1873-1874 from the Kamloops Catholic Diocese; the 1881 Canada Census (Yale Division); the 1877-1878 Joint Reserve Commission Census; and early band lists from the 1920s. In focus group sessions and interviews, I discussed these with a group of Secwepemctsín speaking Elders, mainly from Skítsestn, who provided translations, correct pronunciations, the meaning and context of names, and cultural background information.
