Abstract |
The present study of the topography of the Baikal Siberia includes components of both synchronous and diachronic lexical analysis. Toponyms represented in modern cartography and belonging in the toponymic system of the Russian language may be established according to historical models. The history of each of them is individual. The study deals with foreign-language toponymic nominations of the Baikal Siberia, displaying toponymic strata that have developed in given territory. Frequency of the use of one or another basis and toponymical formant allows revealing the word formative meanings of toponyms related to certain word formative types. The toponymical bases and topo-formants under study demonstrate the productivity of derivational types, as indicated by the repeatability of the forms and characteristics in the structure of foreign names borrowed from the Russian language and adapted by its system. Administrative-political zoning of the Baikal Siberia is also characterized by linguistic features of the toponymical strata formed here. The paper analyzes existing substrate names in the territory of the Baikal region, according to the area of settlement of the indigenous population. The author cites data on the history of ethnic settlement in the territory of the Irkutsk region, contributing to a clearer understanding of specifics of the existence of numerous substrate names of the area. Statistical data introduced by the author of the study of regional toponymicon characterize the ratio of Slavic and foreign-language geographical names by their quantitative characteristics and allow determining stratigraphic features of the existing toponymic space of the Baikal region, which has been developping by Russian people for four hundred years. |
