Anthroponyms of polish origin on the Eastern Podillia dialect map

The article is devoted to the study of the semantic and word-formation structure of surnames of Polish origin in the dialects of Eastern Podillia on the basis of the lists of surnames of students and teachers of Pavlo Tychyna Uman State Pedagogical University, who mostly come from the settlements of Vinnytsia region, northern Odesa region, western Cherkasy region, northwestern Kirovohrad region, which geographically belong to the East Podillia dialects, as well as telephone registers in towns and villages of Uman, Talne, Monastyryshche, Khrystynivka regions in Cherkasy oblast and Haisyn and Bershad regions in Vinnytsia oblast.It is noted that Polonisms in the dialects of Eastern Podillia are active as the basis for the formation of surnames, which is confirmed by their phonetic and word-formation structures. In particular, the Polish origin of the studied surnames is indicated by such phenomena of their phonetic structure as the absence of full voices in place of the ancient compounds -tort-, -tolt-, -tert-, -telt-, the sound combination [дж], [дз], the sound combination of consonants [рж], [кш], [пш], the sound combination [дл] in place of Ukrainian [л]; sound combination [ом] in a closed syllable, [ф] in place of Ukrainian [п], sound [у] in place of etymological [о].It is found that most surnames are formed by morphological means, such as suffixation, with the help of polyfunctional formants -ськ-, -цк-, -ик, -ань, formants with pantronymic meaning -енко, -енко, -ук, -юк, -евич, -овець, with the meaning of possessivity -ов, etc. The most productive in the formation of Eastern Podoliia surnames are the following constituent bases of Polish origin: pan-, mazur-, lech-/lyakh, lup-, matzia, bryzh-, hont, stelmakh.A significant number of surnames were formed by lexical and semantic means, specifically by transanthroponymisation (personal name → surname: Wojciech, Stefan, Kazimierz, Lech, etc.) and anthroponymisation (common name → surname: Broda, Brel, Mandryka, Partyka, etc.).The dominance of certain lexical and semantic groups of Polonisms from which the surnames of Eastern Podoliia are derived has been established, namely, 18 surnames derived from Polonisms for professions, 16 from proper names of Polish origin, 19 from appellations for external and internal human traits, 27 from ethnonyms, 58 from appellations of various thematic groups of vocabulary.The surnames of Eastern Podilliia of Polish origin are marked by phonetic variation (Lupa – Luppa, Hlovatskyi – Hlevatskyi, Obodzynskyi – Obodzinskyi), which can often be caused by extralinguistic factors.It is noted that such studies emphasise the ethnocultural and multicultural specificity of the anthroponomic system of a particular area in particular and Ukraine in general.
