Abstract

The article deals with the hodonyms of the town of Uman in connection with the processes of decommunization. New names of streets and lanes are analyzed on motivational grounds, structural features, specificity of the nomination nad word formation. It is established that the main signs on which the Uman streets are called are memoriality, associativity, qualitativeness and locality. In the current political situation, the issue of renaming the intercity objects, in particular the names of streets, squares, avenues, is becoming increasingly important, because it leads to the implementation of the policy of memory, establishing of the relationship between the generations of Ukrainians, formation of a Ukrainian-centric model of historical memory. The urgency of our study is due to the fact that urbanonyms of the town of Uman have not been the subject of a systematic linguistic research in general and in the conditions of decommunization in particular. Their study will enable the implementation of comparative onomastic studies. The analysis of the motivational base for the names of streets and lanes in the town of Uman points out that the main features on which they are named are memoriality or honor; associativity; qualitativeness; and locality. Among the 103 renamed hodonyms, a significant part (44%) is the names of streets and lanes, motivated by anthroponyms: Piddubnoho, Pototskoho, Hrushevskoho, Hanzhi, Skoropadskoho, Stefanovycha Street. Such names belong to the memorial hodohyms. The names, which are not related to a specific historical person, but embrace broad concepts of historical reality are also classified as memorial hodonyms: Kozatska, Nezalezhnosti, Nebesnoi sotni, Haidamatska, Volonteriv, Heroiv Krut Street. In general, memorial names account for 50% of all investigated hodonyms. 16% of the hodonyms in Uman are associative (characteristic). This is an urbanonym characterizing an object with another object that is on the street or nearby: Mykhailivska, Teplychna, Oranzhereina, Bazarna, Kostelna Street. Lokative names, those giving a spatial description, are not productive (8%): Vasilkivska, Baturinska, Yevropeiska Street. Qualitative names (26%) characterize the object according to various characteristics (size, age, shape, etc.): Vyshyvana, Zlahody, Zoriana, Dobrosusidska Street. Hodonyms indicating the names of plants (Horikhova Street, Berezovyi, Voloshkovyi, Kalynovyi, Kvitkovyi, Klenovyi Lane); and those that have a zoological origin (Solovinyi Lane) also belong to this group of hodonyms. The analysis allows us to state that Uman hodonyms do not go beyond the algorithm of urban names formation, which has developed in the state in recent years, but has some peculiarities. The results of the study can be used for comparison with the hodonyms of other cities of Ukraine, and also creatively continued as a study of other layers of local onomastics
