ПРИНЦИП ПОЛЯ ПРИ ОПИСАНИИ ЗНАЧЕНИЯ ТОПОНИМОВ (на примере топонима Карелия)
FIELD PRINCIPLE FOR DESCRIBING THE MEANINGS OF TOPONYMS (ILLUSTRATED BY THE TOPONYM KARELIA)

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to create a model for describing the meaning of a toponym as close as possible tothe consciousness of native speakers. The interaction and integration of the data obtained by diff erent methods makes itpossible to form such a meaning of a toponym. The author uses the method of communicative and semantic analysis ofthe material selected from the corpus of the Russian language, the method of semantic interpretation of experimentallyobtained data, as well as the fi eld principle of integrated meaning organization. Such an integrated approach to identifyingthe meaning of a toponym, as well as an attempt to create a model for presenting its meaning to a foreign audiencedetermine the relevance of the research. The novelty of the work lies in the development of the criteria that enable, onthe basis of the fi eld organization of meaning, to distribute its semantic components according to the frequency rateand use it for teaching Russian at diff erent levels of language profi ciency. The practical signifi cance of the work lies inthe fact that the proposed principle of describing and presenting the meaning of toponyms in the process of teachingRussian as a foreign language can be used to describe other types of proper names as well. The meaning of the toponymKarelia analyzed as an example substantiates the chosen approach.
