PROPER NAME IN MARTIAL ARTS (BASED ON THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE)

Аннотация

The article is devoted to the analysis of the proper name in the names of martial arts based on the material of the English language. The relevance of this study lies in the fact that names in the domain of martial arts with a proper name component in the English language have not been sufficiently studied both in domestic and foreign linguistics. The purpose of this work is to identify the linguocultural spe-cifics of proper names in the composition of names from the domain of martial arts based on the English language. In accordance with this goal, the author solves the following problems: he offers an etymolog-ical characteristic of anthroponyms, toponyms and ethnonyms as part of names in the domain of martial arts, conducts a lexical and semantic analysis of the indicated anthroponyms, toponyms and ethnonyms, and compiles their thematic classification. As a result of the analysis, the author comes to the conclusion that anthroponyms in the names of martial arts based on the English language received their names in honor of individuals and dynasties who first created such styles of martial arts as: karate, judo, aikido, jujitsu, and etc. Toponyms in the names of martial arts are closely related to the geography and history of those countries and island states where they first appeared, with the traditions prevailing in a particu-lar region. Ethnonyms in the names of martial arts reflect the culture of ethnic communities.
