Etymology of «Unusual» Toponyms
https://doi.org/10.30515/0131-6141-2019-80-2-92-96
Abstract
The article discusses the groups of geographical names that are perceived in the everyday consciousness of native speakers as unusual (inappropriate, unaesthetic, indecent). The analyzed repertoire of toponyms is represented by hydronyms, as well as oikonyms, reflecting the physical-geographical specifics of the area, and oikonyms, formed on the basis of non-calendar personal names or the names of the settlement owners.
