Ziyodbek Abdullaev: Ethnolinguistische Aspekte der usbekischen und deutschen Personennamen. Eine kontrastive Analyse

Abstract

This article deals with the ethnolinguistic aspects of personal names in Uzbek and German. The author argues that the personal naming practices of the two languages compared represent their different evolutionary stages. Whereas personal names in the Uzbek language represent the appellative stage, German names have long been formed on the basis of name precedents handed down by tradition. The author identifies four semantic areas Uzbek personal names are drawn from (wish-related names, religious names, descriptive names and protective names) and carries out an Uzbek-vs-German contrastive analysis.

[Uzbek vs German, personal names, naming, naming motifs, wish-related names, protective names, religious names, descriptive names]
