THEORETICAL ISSUES OF FOLKLORE ONOMASTICS (BASED ON SHOR FOLKLORE) // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2011. Issue 9 (111). P. 179-185

The article is the result of theoretical review of recently made folklore onomasticon studies applied to the folklore of Shors – one of the indigenous Siberian Turkic peoples. The article also dwells on nowadays’ theories and methodologies of onomastic research. We propose the ethnolinguistic approach to the Shor folklore proper names, aiming at revealing their cultural semantics with the differentiated proper name analysis according to the genre – that are heroic epos, fairy tales, myth and legends, songs, proverbs and riddles.

Keywords: Shor language, Turkic languages, ethnolinguistics, onomastics, folklore.
