Abstract
The article analyzes the word formation and functioning of the names of residents (katoikonyms) in the Ukrainian language. This class of lexemes is archaic, as illustrated by examples from various historical sources. The katoikonymic system of the Ukrainian language was formed on the basis of toponyms using the suffixes -any / -yan-y, -ts-i (plural), -an-yn / -yan-yn, -an-k-a / -yan-k-a; -ets, -k-a (singular) – for the names of residents of the masculine and feminine genders. It is substantiated that there is no reason to single out the suffix -chan-in as a variant of -an-in. The so-called forms on -chan-y (-chan-in, -chan-k-a) are the result of the rearrangement of the base with the final -k-, -ts-, -ch-, -sk-, -tsk- in combination with the suffix -an-y (-an-in, -an-k-a). The idea of the irregularity of the forms of katoikonyms such as poltavchany and sumchany is argued, since the oikonym bases Poltava and Sumy that form them do not contain the final consonants -k-, -ts-, -ch-, the suffixes -sk-, -tsk-. The features of the compatibility of the suffixes -аны and -цы (in the plural) with various oikonymic (toponymic) bases are analyzed. The author confirmed the opinion of L.O. Rodnina: the main suffix for the formation of names of persons by place of residence in the modern Ukrainian language is the suffix -еts (masculine) (-к-а (feminine), –ts-і (plural)); the ancient suffix –an-yn / -yan-yn (masculine), –an-k-a / -yan-k-a (feminine), –an-y / -yan-y (plural)) takes second place. The functional and stylistic features of katoikonyms are characterized. It is established that noun forms or, less often, adjective-noun or descriptive constructions prevail. In official-business style texts, descriptive constructions with the supporting word citizen / citizen / citizens are often used, while in texts of other styles (scientific, journalistic, colloquial) single-word noun forms prevail. The largest number of deviations from the derivational norm in the group of katoikonyms was found precisely among the noun forms common in various mass media. The word-forming principles of katoikonyms are violated due to the undeveloped rules for creating names of residents from various oikonymic (toponymic) bases and the lack of a special normative dictionary of katoikonyms of the Ukrainian language.
Key words: historical sources (monuments), katoikonyms, katoikonymic word formation, normative / non-normative katoikonyms, oikonyms (toponyms).
