FEATURES OF DECLENSION UKRAINIAN FEMININE NAMES І DECLINATION OF FIRM GROUP

Abstract

The article analyzes the inflectional paradigm of Ukrainian anthroponyms – feminine names, which are declinated according to the pattern of the I declination of a firm group because in the process of inflection Ukrainian anthroponyms show a number of case features to designate their feminine names that distinguish them from other nouns. It defines relevant factors for highlighting the morphological paradigms of the studied anthropolexems, such as the nominal type of declination; tribal affiliation (labelling category of feminine gender); attribution to the category of human beings; one-type accentuation (fixed emphasis on the basis, movable emphasis or on the basis of the singular and on inflection of the plural, or on the basis of the singular and parallel of the plural – on inflection (except genitive and accusative) and on the basis); the formation of complete paradigms; common endings in case forms; doublet forms in the accusative plural form (zero and -и); morphological phenomena that arise at the base of lexemes during inflection; the alternation of hard and soft phonemes, pharyngeal and lingual with soft tooth phonemes, vowel phoneme /о/ and /е/ with zero phoneme; it analyzes case inflections of masculine names of II declination of the firm group in the singular form (-а in the nominative case, -и in the genitive case, -і in the dative case, -у in the accusative case, -ою in the instrumental case, -і in the prepositional case, -о in the vocal case) and in the plural form (-и in the nominative case, zero in the genitive case, -ам in the dative case, zero (*-и) in the accusative case, -ами in the instrumental case, -ах in the prepositional case, -и in the vocative case); it describes the system of simple paradigmatic classes of proper feminine names of I declination. The morphological paradigm of anthroponyms for the designation of proper masculine and feminine names requires a detailed study and systematic description, taking into account modern approaches.
