HISTORY OF THE STUDY OF TURKIC TOPONYMY

Abstract

The article is devoted to the description of toponymic units of the village of Endirei. Toponyms are considered in the totality of its internal relations and relationships, with the identification of structural and semantic features of toponyms. This article interprets the actual toponymic material collected and recorded in the field since 2010 in the village of Endirei, Khasavyurt district. The toponymy of the region under study uses selectively the same word-forming means that are peculiar to the Kumyk language. It is noted that the Turkic toponyms are formed in various ways, including morphological method, which is the main way to enrich the vocabulary of the language; lexico-semantic method, which is the formation of a toponym from an appellative or onomastic vocabulary without special topoformants, and by toponymic metonymy, based on the adjacency of objects of the pre-logical and toponymic periods. A significant place in the toponymy of Endyrei is also occupied by the lexical-syntactic method of formation, in which the toponym arises from a phrase that is a topolexeme.
