Етноніми в українських діалектах: від номінації до наївної аксіології
Ethnonyms in Ukrainian Dialects: From Nomination to Naive Axiology

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the present paper is to characterize types of information which can be received from studying the Ukrainian dialect vocabulary derivated from ethnic names. The possibility to reconstruct the notions of Ukrainians about ethnic groups through the analysis of motivating means of secondary coinage is outlined. In the paper, the author attempts to recreate the axiological portraits of Gypsies, Jews, and Poles on the basis of facts of naive knowledge about the subject incarnated in the internal form of dialectal lexical units.
