Ключевое слово: «motivations of naming»

The paper explores the toponyms of the Tyarasinskiy nasleg, focusing primarily on hydronyms, to unveil the intricate connections between language, culture, and the environment. Through the lens of linguistic analysis and ethnolinguistic research, the study systematically categorizes and examines the lexical-semantic features and motivational aspects of naming water bodies. Notably, the research employs classification of naming motivations, shedding light on the deep-rooted motivations behind the formation of toponyms. The analysis reveals the profound influence of nature, culture, and human experiences on the naming of geographical features. The study not only enhances our understanding of the local Yakut culture and traditions but also underscores the historical and ecological significance of water bodies in the region.

This paper demonstrates a linguistic study focusing on the motivational features and lexical-semantic nuances of toponyms within the Tyarasinskiy nasleg, situated in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). Investigating the interplay between language and culture, the research aims to elucidate connections through a detailed analysis of toponyms. The study entails tasks such as reviewing theoretical literature, selecting toponyms, translating Yakut names into Russian, and classifying them based on motivations of naming and lexical-semantic characteristics. Results indicate prevalent motifs from the groups «Topographic Description» and «Material Culture» within the toponyms. The research underscores the significance of Yakut toponymy, revealing cultural rich-ness and the intricate relationship between the landscape, inhabitants, and their heritage.
