STRUCTURAL AND SEMANTIC FEATURES OF UFA AVENUES IN THE CONTEXT OF “GREEN BASHKIRIA” PROJECT

Abstract

The article studies names of Ufa avenues, planted within the framework of “Green Bashkiria” ecological project. The research was conducted in line with modern onomastic studies in order to provide a comprehensive linguistic analysis of the by-way category of urban toponyms. The work solves the following tasks: defines the concept of an avenue, approaches to the study of names of streets and roads as a network, based on the material of Ufa; conducts a structural, lexical and semantic, linguistic, cultural, and cognitive analysis of avenue names. It is shown that planting avenues was the first experience of uniting the government and the people in the nomination of urban objects. The reference to “avenues” is due to a broad understanding of the term. Active replenishment of the city godonymicon with new names supports productive nomination models and provides new ways of naming through new structural and semantic models. In terms of proper names as cultural codes, these names implement memorative, floral, locative, symbolic codes that require separate study. The further existence of the object will determine the pragmatic potential of the name and its place in the communicative onomasticon of the city residents, which may become the subject of further research of the language of a city.
