Abstract
The article is devoted to the complex analysis and interpretation of occasional toponymic units, which function in the discourse of British, Russian and Ukrainian fantasy. The research is based on the investigation of the ways of toponymic noncewords building, the principles of their implementation in the text, semantic peculiarities and problems of translation. The frame of author’s toponymic units is one of the important parts of any secondary world, created by the fantasy writer, the component, which concentrates its cultural-linguistic and historical information. That’s why the interpretation of fantasy toponymicon is necessary action in the process of complex analysis of the occasional units, which reflect not only the nature of author’s world, but give an opportunity to study the author as a personality. In the process of the toponymic nonce-words analysis it was found out that the majority of analyzed onyms are the part of groups with the common seme «physical and mental qualities», except Ukrainian fantasy, where the dominant semantic component is «purpose». The structure of the analyzed toponyms is characterized by different word-building means: compounding, affixation, desegmentation, onymization, alternation and so called «unusual» combination of words. Besides, one of the frequent ways of word building is mixed method — the synthesis of usual and occasional word-building devices.
