The pragmatic potential of geographically labeled onyms as a marker of I. A. Chernukhin's idiosyncrasy

The purpose of research is to describe the features of the representation and functioning of proper names in the poetic texts of the Belgorod poet I. A. Chernukhin, acting, on the one hand, as a geographically marked vocabulary (lexical units belonging to the name of the Belgorod region), on the other hand, they are markers of the poet's poetic discourse and idiosyncrasy.

 Methods. To achieve this goal, the methods of continuous sampling, descriptive method, method of discursive analysis, and data systematization were used.

Results of the conducted research indicate that the onomastic space of I. A. Chernukhin's poetic texts is a multifaceted and multi-layered phenomenon, the top of which are proper names nominating historical figures or historical events, however, no less important, semantically capacious onyms are proper names acting as markers of territorial affiliation. These synonyms, as a rule, have great pragmatic potential and carry different semantic shades, the main of which can be called the meaning of ‘small homeland'.

Conclusion. Proper names are the most important markers of the poetic discourse of the Belgorod poet I. A. Chernukhin. The study showed that the greatest pragmatic potential among the onyms acting as a geographically marked vocabulary is possessed by the onym Belogorye, which receives full semantic disclosure in the poetic texts of I. A. Chernukhin. Along with the specified proper name, the hydronyms Vorskla, Quiet Pine, and the toponym Tomarovka play an important role in the formation of the poet's idiostyle. These proper names are not only geographically marked vocabulary, but also act as markers of the poet's individual authorial style.
