ПРО УКРАЇНСЬКИЙ ІМЕННИК ОБÁРІНОК ‘БУБЛИК’
ON THE UKRAINIAN NOUN ОБÁРІНОК ‛BAGEL’

Summary/Abstract: The article is an attempt to describe the origin of the noun обáрінок ‛bagel’ and its general features of the functioning in the Ukrainian language, compared with the corresponding names in Belarusian and Russian. The author concludes that the Ukrainian accentuation and derivational forms of the noun under consideration обáрянок, обáрíнок, обáрúнок, as well as the Belarusian абарáнак, arose as a result of the direct influence of the Polish language, and the Russian noun барáнка is only indirectly related to Polish influence, being originally an adapted Belarusian name. Variants of the noun обáрінок are considered in the article both geographically and chronologically. Thus, the Ukrainian nouns обáрянок, обаря́нок, обаря́нець and обáрінок, барíнок, вобарúнок, обарíнок, обарúнок reflect both the nature of the Polish-Ukrainian language contacts of the end of the 14th – the second half of the 17th centuries, and internal changes in the structure of the Polish and Ukrainian languages.
