Abstract

On the example of three semantic fields identified in the corpus of historical Moscow hodonyms (“Daily Life”, “Color” and “Occupation”), it is demonstrated how the description of hodonyms by groups of features can contribute to the formation of toponymic images that approach the Russian toponymic picture of the world. As a result of the study, it is concluded that the reconstruction of the toponymic image based on the identification of semantic fields of toponyms contributes to the formation of the secondary linguistic personality with a great potential for adaptation to the foreign geocultural space.
