ETHNOCULTURAL SPECIFICITY OF THE KARATIN ANTHROPONIMICAL SYSTEM

Abstract

The presented article analyzes personal names of the Karatin people from the point of view of their origin, phonetic and grammatical adaptation and the formation of the anthroponymic picture of the world of the Karatin people. The anthroponymic system under study reflects the formation of the anthroponymicon of the Karatin ethnic group based on the traditions and customs of the Karatin people under the influence of ethnic culture, in the close connection of the language with the history of the ethnic group and its worldview. The Karatin personal names themselves are limited in number. The Karatin anthroponymicon is expanded mainly by borrowed names from other cultures. The overwhelming majority of personal names of Karatins are borrowings that have undergone phonetic and morphological adaptation and are perceived by modern Karatins as facts of their native language, although these onyms are not semanticized according to the lexical system of the Karatin language. Borrowed anthroponyms most often have Arabic, Turkic or Persian origin.
