A LINGUISTIC IMAGE OF THE WORLD OF THE RURAL COMMUNITY SOLIDIFIED IN POSSESSIVE TERRAIN NAMES (EXEMPLIFIED BY MICROTOPONYMS OF TRUSKOLASY NEAR CZĘSTOCHOWA AND NEIGHBORING VILLAGES) The article is an attempt to reconstruct a linguistic image of the world of the rural community solidified in possessive terrain names. A collection of 110 microtoponyms was analyzed (along with their morphological justifications, indicated by respondents), which were collected from the area of Truskolasy near Częstochowa and neighboring villages. Names distinguished in the material studied were, among others, those motivated by anthroponyms, by the ethnicity and religion of the owner, and also by historical legal-proprietary relations. Designations of a possessive nature record, among other things, the need to emphasize the ownership of a physiographic object by the individual, and in addition expose the popular opposition we/they. Possessive terrain names commemorate the history of the “small fatherland,” which has particular value for members of the microcommunity studied and makes up an important component of their identity.

As one could expect, the greatest number of the Baltic hydronyms and toponyms are featured in the northeastern part of the Mazovia region in the area of the confluence of the entire Narew and lower Bug. These are mainly names of rivers (35), less numerous are place names (24). The majority of these names is motivated by names featured in the area of historical Prussia and Yatvingia. Moreover, some of them even have direct equivalents in that region; references to the Lithuanian language are less common. This enables us to surmise that the prehistorical Mazovia region was inhabited by West Baltic people, and the Slavic colonizers reached this area in the late prehistorical period.
