Dialectic items in proper names of hunting clubs (based on trade register)

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the results of the research devoted to proper names of hunting as- sociations with sociolectal terms. In total, 2075 names have been analyzed, out of which 475 were identified as hunting dialect items. 76 extracted items have never been repeated and have gone under scrutiny. The quantitative method typical for statistical linguistics (the analyses of the quantitative structure from the excerpted vocabulary) has been used as well as typical for the cognitive linguistics quantitative research based on the analysis of formal and practical issues of the collected material. It helped to find the answer to the question to what extend the presence of hunting terminology reflects the values and traditions of contemporary hunters. The quantitative analysis (44 items oc- cur only once and 32 of them occur twice and up to 93 times) and both linguistic and cultural ones made it possible to point out at least some factors determining the choice of the items such as the dialectal resources of the community of hunters, perceiving the extralinguistic reality and showing examples of appreciated values, creating their identity and the sense of belonging to the group. An- other important factor is the educational aspect.
