Dialect adaptation of proper personal names in West Polissia and Middle Polissia Subdialects

Summary/Abstract: The modern Ukrainian collection of proper names was compiled from different namesfor a thousand years: it includes pagan and Norse onyms, borrowings from West Europeanand Turkic languages, man-made innovations, but, after all, the basis is Christiannames which are Hebrew, ancient Greek and Latin by their origin and they underwenta long process of integration and adaptation to the Ukrainian phonоlogy. However,the adaptation of these anthroponyms has not been finished yet as they are found to bein the environment of sub-dialects. The article studies proper personal names and theirvariants recorded on the interfluvial territory of the Styr and the Horyn, where thereis a boundary line between West Polissia and Middle Polissia subdialects of the northernUkrainian dialect. Since this boundary is indistinct with many transitions, thereare features of both subdialect among the proper names. The material of researchwas recorded in 178 inhabited localities of Volyn and Rivne Regions. The examplesof common nouns are given to confirm the influence of dialect speech features and itindicates the relationship between these two linguistic disciplines such as onomasticsand dialectology.
