THE PRACTICAL ANALYSIS OF TOPONYMS IN GREAT BRITAIN BASED ON THE STORY OF A. CONAN DOYLE "THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES"

Аннотация

We cannot imagine the modern world without geographical names. Each toponym carries a variety of information: historical, geographical, and linguistic, since geographical names are evidence of the historical conditions of the epochs when they arose, formed, and spread in certain countries. Toponyms (place names) represent language units denoting elements of topographic environment. The relevance of the study is caused by the need to develop the theory of toponymy and to systematize all the existing toponymic classifications. Place names have a complicated (multidimensional) nature, which should be taken into account while classifying them. This research is an attempt to highlight various principles according to which it is possible to group the place names.
