Journal Title: Мова - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 29
Abstract
The article concentrates on issues of the identification of existing types of hipponymic nomination, which somehow reflects the formation of the English-speaking «naive» profane picture of the world. The main features of the new class of names — the names of horses (hipponyms) –were identified in the previous studies. In this study, an attempt was made to adapt the classification of M. N. Torchinsky for describing hipponyms according to structural features, to cover the various zones of functioning of the investigated onyms and to identify the main structural features of the current hipponymicon. The purpose of the article is to describe various types of hipponyms according to their structural features. The object of the study is the names of horses of different types in the UK and the USA. The subject of the research is structural typology of the hipponyms of these regions. The research material includes register lists of names, analytical sites with official materials dedicated to the equestrian world, ratings and under. As the result of the study, three structural models were singled out — simple (and their subtypes: non-suffix, prefixal, suffixal and confixal), complex (and their subtypes: composites proper, affixal composites, abbreviations or complex abbreviations) and composite (and their subtypes: word combinations, word combinations nominal and phrases) — among the three categories of hipponyms (real, virtual and sacral). It was found that the most frequently used structural model of official hipponyms is composite, whereas informal hipponyms have predominantly simple structure. The sacral hipponyms of Great Britain and the United States were not found and, as a result, were not reflected in our sample. To complete the research, descriptive and structural methods were used extensively. These methods allow describing structure of hipponyms. The results of the research are of value to further development and modernization of onomastics.
