Paradigmatic derivation is also referred to as conversion, zero derivation or zero affixation. It is a linguistic process that changes the paradigmatic features of an already existing word without using any affixes, which in some cases involves assigning that word to a new word class (a part of speech). This process concerns appellative lexis and proper names. The article is devoted to analyzing Old Russian male appellative anthroponyms that were formed in this way.

The aim of this article is to point to the factors that started the process of family names formation in the Eastern Slavonic area. It also discusses extralinguistic reasons for fixing them as permanent surnames.  The official usage of surnames by the representants of different social groups in Russia proceeded as they were receiving full civic rights. It was also connected with the development of administrative structure of the Russian State.The key factor conditioning the usage of family names by the representants of the future generations was the inheritance of grounds and other material goods within a family. It seems that two types of Russian surnames could evaluate spontaneously: 1. the family names of Russian aristocrats motivated by toponyms, and 2. the family names of craftsmen derived from names of professions and occuppations. The creation of the majority of Russian townspeople’s and peasants’ surnames was a concious and controlled process. However, it took into account the trends in forming patronymics and their tendency to become the family names.

In Christian religious consciousness, especially in Eastern Christianity, Andrew the Apostle has a place equal to that of his brother, Peter the Apostle. This article presents the information gathered about him and provided by the Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles. It also concisely describes the apocrypha about his missionary activities in Greece, Pontus, Thrace and Scythia, as well as the sources and reasons behind the development of his cult in Europe, including the Slavic nations. The origin of the given name Andrew is also included, along with the process of this name becoming common among the Slavs connected with the spread of the cult. The article stresses the importance of the transformation of the original image of this saint caused by the contamination of Christian beliefs and Slavic folk culture. The analysis of Polish calendar proverbs enabled to present the linguistic image of St. Andrew. Folk religious rites connected with his cult, which emerged as the result of intertwining of the Christian calendar and agricultural cycle, are also described. The saints to whom certain days in the Christian calendar were dedicated, started to be perceived as the guardians of these days, protecting people from the forces of nature, as well as the protectors of certain trades. The profiles of selected local Christian saints bearing the name Andrew are also presented.

Using the Quantitative and Qualitative Method of Statistical Analysis in Linguistics with Reference to the Male Christian Names of Northern Russia. To Mark the 90th Anniversary of the Birth of Professor Vasiliy Danilovich BondaletovIn 2018, the 90th anniversary of Professor Vasiliy Danilovich Bondaletov`s birth will be celebrated. The aim of the article is to remind readers of the quantitative and qualitative method of statistical analysis in anthroponomastic research developed by Professor Bondaletov, as well as to show its advantages over simplified descriptions of the frequency of personal names. In this article, the detailed analysis of male Christian names found in customs books from Northern Russia (1633–1636 and 1678–1680) was conducted. The comparison of statistical data, according to the suggestion of Professor V. D. Bondaletov, enabled us to observe subtle differences between the abovementioned resources, namely to estimate the level of their (dis)similarity and describe the dynamics of the evolution of the resources of male Christian names throughout the 17th century, as well as changes in the popularity of various names.

The aim of the article is to present the names of the valuables in testaments of the Russian great and appanage princes of the 14–16 c. Special attention has been paid to tableware terminology. Lexicographical and etymological data as well as the semantic classification of the tableware names are provided. Dishes and eating utensils used by the Rurik dynasty members during feasts were made of gold or silver and were extremely decorative. According to Thorstein Veblen, conspicuous consumption and wasteful expenditure were signs of person’s high social position. The author draws our attention to the fact that vicarious consumption on the house by invited guests was possible too. Therefore, the social meaning of these valuables is presented in this article.

The article focuses on Russian place names motivated by personal names. The anthropogenic character of the cultural and social phenomenon that is a city is reflected in them in a very special way. The aim of the article is to take a look at the functions served by place names as language signs, as well as cultural collective symbols, instruments of communal identification of group representations, and vehicles of collective memory. The analysis provided shows that throughout history, the users of Russian language moved from place name-giving based on realistic meaning (localization, orientation and possessive functions) to their extensive usage for pragmatic purposes (ideological function). However, Russian oikonyms, especially the constructions based on anthroponyms presented here, seem to enduringly remain the signs stabilizing (cumulative function) and creating (performative function) a socio-topographic space.

В настоящей статье представлены интересные факты из жизни выдающегося слависта, дан общий обзор его важнейших трудов по вопросам возник-новения и реконструкции глаголицы и кириллицы, дешифровки древнейших славян-ских надписей и анализа древнерусской антропонимии, разработок, затрагивающих проблематику английских заимствований в русском языке и польских заимствований в русских диалектах, а также статей, посвященных так называемым условно-профессиональным языкам и специальной лексике и терминологии. ОN THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY OF PROFESSOR MARIAN WÓJTOWICZ’S SCIENTIFIC AND EDUCATIONAL CAREER Summary Professor Marian Wójtowicz from the Institute of Russian Philology at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań celebrates the 40th anniversary of his scientific and educational career. The article presents some facts from the biography of this outstanding slavist as well as a wide range of his most important publications covering the following topics: English loan-words in 18th century Russian and contemporary Russian language, old Russian personal names, the origin and reconstruction of the glagolitic and cyrillic alphabets, most ancient Slavic inscriptions, Russian argots, specialized vocabulary and terminology, as well as Polish bor-rowings in Russian dialects.

The article constitutes an attempt to present the traditional Slavic personal names as a product and an integral element of the local oral pre-Christian culture. It is commonly known that syntheticity was a distinguishing feature of all pre-modern civilizations including the old Slavic one. The base of the archaic Slavic philosophy of life was the dichotomous separation of the zone taken into possesion by people (“this world”) from the nonhuman extraneous one (“the other world”) which had numerous semiotic and symbolic representations. The symbolic crossing of the border between these two parts of the Universe — the ecumene (tame, inhabitated, known territory) and the anecumene (wild, dangerous, mysterious external areas) — was possible by means of rites de passage (i.e. the rituals that marked the passage of a person through the life cycle, from one stage to another over time, from one role or social position to another) as well as verbal magic. Thinking and talking were considered by illiterate peoples as actions in which energy was expended. According to their primitive beliefs, words were devoid of the material form. They seemed to have power over the named objects. The purpose of using magic words was mediating between spaces mentioned above and achieving the expected results in everyday life. Communication with the other world was possible by performing special verbal rituals. Each word uttered during a ritual, including a personal name, was a word of special importance and magic significance. In primitive cultures the bond between people and their names was real, not imaginary. Our ancestors believed that a personal name made a part of its owner, coexisted with him and determined his fate. Magic procedures in relation to a man could be fulfilled by means of his name as easily as by means of any other material part of his body. As a consequence of this conviction, the real names were kept secret. The practice of tabooing the real names and using the alternative ones instead seems to have a long-standing tradition not only among the old Indo-European tribes. It is quite possible that it survived and was followed in medieval Slavic societies. The arguments for that are presented in this article. It seems highly likely that the future events of the owner’s life were projected by means of his personal name. Intentions and wishings contained in a metaphorical one-part name or in a specially formed name-incanation were crucial for success of ritual mediative actions between man and Nature. What is more, they could probably also exert an influence on people’s behaviour on the subconscious level, indirectly determining their bearers’ deeds. Slavic compound personal names were conspicuous by unique poetical characteristics — obscureness and inexplicability. Their hermetic and esoteric formulas might be considered to be a vehicle for magical and sacral values. It should be emphasized that there were many types of compound personal names that had no morphological equivalents among the models of compound common nouns. Thus, it is evident that Slavic compound personal names might have been created, especially in the beginning, by accomplishing the real act of ritual composition.

The aim of the article is to present the names of the valuables in testaments of the Russian great and appanage princes of the 14th-16th century. Special attention has been paid to clothing terminology (names of textiles, colours and dyes, individual garments, clothing details). Lexicographical and etymological data, as well as a semantic classification of dress and clothing detail names are provided. According to Jean Baudrillard, far from the primary status of an object being a pragmatic one, it is the sign exchange value which is fundamental. Thereupon, the attempt to present the social meaning and the unconscious discourse of the valuables mentioned in the testaments of the Rurik dynasty members is also made in this article.
