ABSTRACT
Introduction: the article presents the results of a comparative analysis of the Karelian-language names of boats, taking into account the data of closely related Karelian languages. The article considers the issue of interaction of languages and cultures of the Karelian, Finnish and Russian population, resulting from close contact, which is confirmed by the presence of Russian and Finnish loan words in the Karelian language and Karelian loanwords in the dialects of the Russian language.
Objective: to identify the ways of formation of boat names in the dialects of the Karelian language.
Research materials: dialect names of boats in the Karelian language.
Results and novelty of the research: the novelty of the study is in the first etymological analysis of the vocabulary under consideration with the involvement of dialect material of the Karelian language. The author comes to the conclusion that the lexemes denoting different types of boats are in most cases identical in the dialects of the Karelian language. Linguistic analysis showed that the formation of the studied lexical-thematic group in the Karelian language was influenced by the
Russian and Finnish languages; the reverse process is also observed – the borrowing of Karelian vocabulary into Finnish and Northern Russian dialects. More than 30 different Karelian dialect variants of the lexemes used to designate boats were analyzed. The theoretical significance of the research lies in the fact that the analysis of the Karelian-speaking names of the boat, compared with the names in other languages, makes it possible, in general, to deepen knowledge of the lexical composition of the Karelian language. The practical significance is determined by the fact that the results obtained in the course of research work can be used in university courses of the Karelian language (lexicology, dialectology), as well as in teaching local history and ethnography.
Key words: Karelian language, dialects, names of boats, etymological analysis, word formation.
Acknowledgments: the author expresses the gratitude to the Petrozavodsk State University and special gratitude to the reviewers and the Editorial Board of the journal.
