Keywords: Russian language and linguonymics correlation between linguonyms and ethnonyms linguonyms structure linguonyms variants |
Summary: The language is not only the mandatory, but also one of the main features of any ethnic community. Is is a powerful
attribute of the association and preservation of an ethnic family. However, the literature on linguonymics is limited. We
started our research of linguonymics between the late 1960s and the early 1970s, with the fi rst research work published
in 1973. In 1976–1977, the glossary of Slavic languages and dialects was presented to the Institute of Linguistics of
the USSR Academy of Sciences, which contained more than 600 names of Slavic languages and dialects. This article addresses the correlation between linguonyms and ethnonyms, introduces the defi nition of the concept “linguonym”, and explores their structure, variants, and sources. |
