Semantic features of onyms of Avar folk tales

the article discusses the semantic features of the Avar language onyms recorded in folklore works, namely in Avar folk fairy tales. The relevance of the research topic is predetermined by the fact that the study of folklore proper names in this aspect reveals the historical, cultural and linguistic details of the Avar people and is the key to understanding its national and cultural uniqueness. It is also determined by the need to analyze folklore onyms to identify their structural and semantic features. The main goal of the study is to consider the semantics of toponyms and anthroponyms recorded in Avar folk tales based on a selection of material from the book "Collection of Folklore Monuments of the Peoples of Dagestan" (in twenty volumes). The methodological basis of our research is the concepts that reveal the problems of interaction between history, culture and language. The linguistic material of the Avar folklore works determined the methods of research. In the study, the method of synchronous analysis is most often used, descriptive and comparative-historical methods are also used. The practical significance of the work is that the results of the study can be applied in school and university courses of the modern Avar language (in the section "Lexicology"), as well as in the study of Avar folklore in the course of native literature. They can be used in the creation of a dictionary of folklore proper names.
