Morphological paradigmatics of proper and foreign names of footwear in modern Ukrainian language

Abstract

Background. Since the beginning of the XXI century, Ukrainian linguistics has intensified the study of the morphological paradigm of nouns, taking into account several factors. The researchers focus not only on appellatives but also on propriatives of different classes and subclasses. The need for a comprehensive study of the declension system of footwear names is caused by the predominantly fragmentary representation in grammatical descriptions of the Ukrainian language of the morphological paradigm of these nouns and their often different grammatical characterization according to number category (nouns with grammatical singular and plural meaning / pluralia tantum nouns), as well as the emergence of new lexemes in the Ukrainian language that are not recorded in dictionaries, and their grammatical status, phonetic and graphic design, and word formation require unified regulation.

Methods. The study of more than 150 footwear titles used general scientific and linguistic methods: solid sampling, comparison, structural and distributional analysis, systematization, descriptive, statistical, and prognostication.

Results. The article identifies and describes 33 elementary paradigmatic classes of noun names of footwear taking into account relevant factors (full/incomplete case-number paradigm, belonging to a certain gender and gender variation, belonging to one of the cases or being outside them, belonging of nouns of the first and second declensions to hard, soft or mixed groups, identity of word-change affixes and their letter designation, morphonemic phenomena, including phoneme alternation and stress, case variant forms, phonetic and graphic variation, etc.). The nouns with homonymous forms are identified and the means of realizing their case-number semantics are elucidated. Elementary paradigmatic classes of footwear nouns, which have the status of pluralia tantum nouns and whose phonetic, graphic and grammatical development is ongoing, are proposed.

Conclusion. The obtained results can be used in the compilation of printed and electronic dictionaries, as well as in the unified representation of the morphological paradigm and phonetic and graphic design of noun names of footwear in current electronic dictionaries.
