The origin of masculine naming units in the Karelian language
Abstrak
The aim of this study is to establish, through a comprehensive analysis, the origin of naming units for men in the dialects of the Karelian language. The scientific novelty of the research lies in determining the types of motivational features associated with the naming of males, specifically men. The lexical material was collected from published and electronic Karelian dialect dictionaries. The study resulted in the identification of 22 lexemes (34 when accounting for dialectal phonetic transformations) designating a man, which vary in origin. The collected lexical units represent various etymological layers: native Finnic terms, as well as Finnish and Slavic borrowings. From the perspective of morphological derivation – one of the most productive methods of new vocabulary formation in Karelian – the analyzed lexical stock exhibits suffixation and compound words with various motivational aspects. Additionally, semantic transformations were recorded during the formation of certain lexemes. The results obtained allow for a representation of the stages in the formation of naming units for men in the Karelian language.
