Didactically Relevant Mechanisms of Onym Formation in the Ukrainian Language Today : A Neuropsychological Approach

Abstract

The article considers didactically relevant mechanisms of creation and functioning of proper names, psychological and linguistic mechanisms of onym formation in the contemporary Ukrainian language, which can become a starting point for both scientific generalization and development of didactic programs to study the mechanisms of emerging current onomasticon, which is relevant to this research. The purpose of the article is to theoretically substantiate and outline the linguo-didactic aspects of lexicosemantic word formation of onyms, their motivation, nature and mechanisms of domination, which can be a comprehensive basis for both understanding these mechanisms by students in the process of study of linguistic disciplines, and in the acquisition of practical competencies in their application. Within the framework of the theoretical -modelling approach the methods of pedagogical observation, analysis of theoretical sources, generalization, selection of relevant mechanisms were used; partly -methods of modelling and interdisciplinary extrapolation. As a result, the authors of the article proved that children are prone to creating their own words. Perception, study and construction of simple and compound onyms by primary school students promotes the development of the cognitive, emotional and creative spheres. International significance of the article. The article is one of the few in the scientific discourse that theoretically proved the connection between the mechanisms of onym creation and their study in school. This can be used for further methodological research on the material of any language.
