Abstract

The study of a person within the framework of the anthropocentric paradigm does not lose its relevance. On the contrary, in the 21st century it acquires new meanings. The study of the folk language of the inhabitants of a little-known village reveals great opportunities for gaining knowledge about its speakers. It is quite obvious that changes in society are mirrored in people's speech. However, in a small settlement, we observe a certain conservatism in the use of territorially limited vocabulary in a team and its stability. What is the modern village anthroponymicon? What do female nicknames keep? An analysis of the unofficial names of the fairer sex helps to get an answer to the questions posed, including a description of their meanings, metaphor words, emotional-evaluative coloration and part of speech affiliation. During the survey, 142 nicknames were represented, they are clearly demonstrated and classified into different groups in accordance with their meaning. Becoming an identifier for women, the village nameplate adds flavor to the village environment. It is reflected in the dialectal picture of the world. The linguistic material is interesting both from a philological and a cultural point of view, it is unique in its kind. The conclusions obtained as a result of the work can have practical and theoretical application.
