Onomastic suite formation as a hybrid subject of linguistics

Abstract

The goal of the research is a transdisciplinary reconstruction of the hybrid subject of linguistics. The result of the research is the distinction between the local onomasticon as a linear list of words, separated from spatial and temporal contexts, and the onomastic suite formation. Transdisciplinarity as a methodological principle of research is represented in the actualization of the cenological approach. The concept onomastic suite formation was coined to linguistically explain the excessive derived groupings of different-frequency onyms related to the parent onym and sharing the common cultural-historical context. The onomastic suite formation is interpreted as a dynamic subsystem of semiocoenosis, the elements of which are formally heterogeneous, loosely coupled from the linguistic point of view, but they share spatial and temporal parameters forming homogeneous social-historical contents associated with psycholinguistic, sociolinguistic and linguoculturological factors. The results are based on the analysis of a sample of 4000 onomastic units, which was generated and interpreted in an “all-humanities key” using an integrated methodology (including contextual analysis, method of vocabulary definitions, interviewing, modeling, introspection).
