Adjective Components of Complex Slavic Names in The Bases of Surnames of The Rivne Region

Abstract

 The article is devoted to the study of surnames of the Rivne region (the Rivne region of Ukraine), derived from adjectival bases - structural components of complex Slavic names. Adjective anthroponymic bases with benevolent, noble-wishful semantics Hod-, Dobr-, Drag-, Lyub-, Myl-, Rad-, Svyat- are considered in comparison with the primary appellative counterparts. They are also reconstructed from toponyms and a significant array of regional surnames - single-root suffixal derivatives, toponymic and composite nominal formations. The systematicity, completeness and integrity of the study are ensured by the distribution of the material by lexical-semantic subgroups, giving examples of onyms from other Ukrainian and Slavic territories. Extensive factual material, the results of linguistic analysis and a strictly structured research methodology can, in the future, be applied to the study of other groups of regional personal vocabulary.
