title: Rus Dilinde Etnonimler: Bicimsel ve Anlamsal Ozellikler
abstract: Ethnonyms, which are the names of such formations as a family group, a tribe or an ethnos, are the scientific object of the ethnonymics in the framework of onomastics. Ethnonyms can be studied in a diachronic and synchronic way. The diachronic study of the ethnonyms implies the analysis of the written sources from different periods. The diachronic study focuses on the origin of an ethnonym, its meaning and changes in the meaning over time. The results of the diachronic analysis are of special importance to history studies. The synchronic study deals with ethnonyms as units of the language system. The synchronic study aims at defining and describing the structural and semantic feautures of the ethnonyms. This article examines ethnonyms in the modern Russian language in a synchronic way and deals with the structural and semantic feautures of these units. The ethnonyms in the Russian language can be divided in two groups according to their formal features. These are ethnonyms derived with the suffixes used in the agent naming models and ethnonyms derived from the root words without morphemes. The study shows that most of the ethnonyms in the modern Russian language have derivational suffixes in their structure but there is no single derivation model. The ethnonyms based on the root words are seemed to be the names of the ethnic groups formed a long time ago. The semantic analysis of the ethnonyms illustrates that these units have strong cultural connotations and can be used as metaphors. The study shows that the ethnonyms in the modern Russian language are used in secondary naming. These features of the ethnonyms are underlined as important in the context of foreign language teaching and translation training. The diachronic and synchronic study of the ethnonyms is believed to highlight the process of image formation towards the foreigners. The importance of the study in the framework of the imagology is underlined.

title: Iz drevnerusskoi onomastiki: Simar'gl'/Semar'gl' i khinova
abstract: The author suggests new etymologies for two well known Old Russian proper names. The god name of Simariglu/Semariglu is loaned from East Iranic (Scytho Sarmatian) of the Alanic Caucasian period and corresponds to Ossetic xi/xe 'oneself' and maraeg 'murderer; killing' xemaraeg 'suicide (person) and the Russian participle suffix l The motive of god's suicide is extended in mythology, including the Nart epic. The ethnonym Khinova mentioned in "The Tale of Igor's campaign" is of Baltic origin and comes from IE *sku n 'asylum, shelter; shield, etc. and the suffix ava/ uva, very frequent in the Baltic ethnonymics.

The article is devoted to the close historical and ethnocultural relations between the indigenous inhabitants of the Ural Volga region and Turkmenistan, existing since the Middle Ages. According to Eastern authors, at that time part of the Bashkirs lived on the Syrdarya and in the Aral Sea region, along with the ancestors of the Turkmens, from where, due to political upheavals, some moved to the interfluve of the Urals and the Volga, while others moved to the Amudarya and further to the Transcaspian. Of particular interest for the development of our theme are similar subjects in Bashkir and Turkmen folklore. For comparison, several Bashkir traditions recorded by P. Nazarov, N. Maliev, R. Kuzeev and others are given in the work. The mention of Oguz Khan, Turkmenistan, Turkmen khans, the wolf is common for folklore, especially the south eastern Bashkirs. Other sources often mention Gorkut Ata the hero of the Oguz epic. A large number of ethnonymic parallels with the Turkmens also speak about the Oguz origin of some Bashkir clans. In the names of the settlements of Bashkortostan, the ethnonym "Turkmen" is also recorded. There are other similarities: both nations profess Islam, and the Turkmen language, in a number of phonetic features, draws close to Bashkir. Since 1993, the Turkmen Cultural Center has been actively operating in Bashkortostan. Republic representatives take part in many international forums, often held recently in Ashgabat.

title: From the experience of ethnonymic headlines research
abstract: The elaborate treatment of the issues as the role of ethnic information as well as other information, the contexts of the use of ethnos names ethnonyms in mass media products, the linguistic presentation of ethnic positive negative data, their influence on consciousness of information consumers and their functions in press media of any country is considered very topical. The frequent occurrence of ethnos in various negative contexts may lead to the formation of negative associations on the ethnos in the consumer consciousness. That is why mass media is one of the mechanisms of controlling and influencing the public consciousness in positive or negative propaganda of the nation's image, the national identity, national unity processes. In this regard, the study of the headlines of press publications is being realized as they have an impact on the formation of an opinion of a reader about a definite ethnos, the emergence of an ethnic stereotype in the society in general.  ethnonymic headline, media discourse, ethnic stereotype, image of ethnos, content analysis

title: Identiti Etnik Minoriti di Malaysia: Antara Realiti Sosial Tafsiran Autoriti dan Tafsiran Harian
abstract: (Ethnic Minority Identity in Malaysia: Between Authority defined and Everyday defined Social Reality) Questions of ethnicity and ethnic identity remain ardent in Malaysian community life. Despite having a high ethnic awareness, not many people recognize or fully understand other ethnic groups, particularly minority ethnic groups. This article has two purposes, namely to highlight two cases of minority ethnic identity in Malaysia and to examine the effect of social stereotyping on minority ethnic group's interactions with the Malaysian public. By using Shamsul's (1996) two social reality approach, a study was conducted on two ethnic minorities, namely the Peranakan Chinese of Kelantan and the Sikh Punjabi of Kuala Lumpur. The study found that the Kelantan Chinese Peranakan and Sikh Punjabi ethnic identities are very different from mainstream stereotypes associated with Chineseness or Indianness; Kelantan Peranakan Chinese identity, for example, is strongly influenced by elements of local culture, and the Sikh Punjabi identity is rooted in Sikh religious elements. Although living in two areas with different ethnic diversity indexes, it was found that both ethnic minority groups shared the mutual problems of mistaken identity and negative ethnonymic connotations. These problems were most often faced during interaction with the mainstream general public when outside of the respective ethnic minority's immediate locality. These findings show that Malaysian society has only skin deep awareness and knowledge about ethnic minority groups living within the country. This can be attributed in part to the overemphasis of 'authority defined' perspective that traced back to colonial knowledge on, and methods of, managing ethnic diversity. Over time, this knowledge has become an accepted, pervasive and dominant social fact in the society.  Ethnic identity; ethnic minority; Peranakan Chinese; Sikh Punjabi; social reality Abstrak Soal etnisiti dan identiti etnik kekal hangat dalam kancah kehidupan bermasyarakat di Malaysia. Walaupun mempunyai kesedaran etnik yang tinggi, tidak ramai yang mengenali atau mengetahui tentang kumpulan kumpulan etnik lain, khususnya mengenai kumpulan kumpulan etnik minoriti. Artikel ini mempunyai dua tujuan iaitu mengetengahkan dua kes identiti etnik minoriti di Malaysia dan mengkaji kesan stereotaip sosial kepada interaksi kumpulan etnik minoriti tersebut dengan masyarakat umum. Menggunakan pendekatan dua realiti sosial (Shamsul 1996) kajian dilakukan ke atas dua kumpulan etnik minoriti iaitu Cina Peranakan di Kelantan dan Punjabi Sikh di Kuala Lumpur. Kajian mendapati identiti etnik Cina Peranakan Kelantan dan Punjabi Sikh jauh berbeza daripada stereotaip yang dikaitkan dengan kecinaan dan keindiaan dalam arus perdana; identiti Cina Peranakan Kelantan misalnya, kuat dipengaruhi oleh elemen budaya tempatan manakala identiti Punjabi Sikh adalah bertunjangkan kepada elemen agama Sikh. Walaupun tinggal dalam dua kawasan yang mempunyai indeks kepelbagaian etnik yang berbeda, kedua dua kumpulan etnik minoriti ini didapati menghadapi dua masalah sepunya iaitu salah identiti dan konotasi negatif dalam ethnonym. Masalah ini cenderung dihadapi dalam interaksi dengan golongan awam dalam arus perdana di luar lokaliti mereka. Dapatan kajian ini menunjukkan bahawa masyarakat di Malaysia mempunyai kesedaran dan pengetahuan yang cetek mengenai kumpulan etnik minoriti yang ada di negara ini. Ini dapat dikaitkan dengan penekanan kepada pendekatan 'tafsiran autoriti' yang disusul daripada ilmu dan cara kolonial dalam mengurus kepelbagaian etnik yang ada. Selepas suatu masa, pengetahuan ini menjadi fakta sosial yang diterima, berleluasa dan dominan dalam masyarakat tersebut.

title: Formulas and Vocabulary of Ritual Speech in Old English Heroic Epic (Based on Direct Speech in the Poem Beowulf)
abstract: The paper deals with the linguistic and poetic analysis of the formula 'X mathelode' 'someone said' in comparison to other ways of introducing direct speech in the Old English heroic epic poem Beowulf. It is considered to be dependent upon the situations of feast and battle which are regarded as the most significant social acts of the early Middle Ages. Its connection with ritual actions such as greeting, boasting, giving oath, flyting, giving treasures, etc. is analysed the actions which accompanied ceremonial interaction of the nobility. Its close links with canons of Old Germanic alliterative verse and poetics of heroic epic is described, as well as the means of lexical and semantic variability and contextual extension. In the position of the subject 'X mathelode' proper names prevail which shows the connection of the formula with alliterative lists of names of Old Germanic chieftains. The presence of patronymic, ethnonymic and eponymous names as well as words emphasizing the formal type of communication indicates the important role of this formula in displaying the values of the heroic world. At the same time, the anonymous author's remarks, narrative or reflective, testify to the serious changes which the poetics of heroic epic has undergone after the conversion of England. The cognates and derivatives of the verb mathelian allow to refer the semantics of the formula 'X mathelode' to the period of Germanic tribal community. Its subsequent fate is predetermined by the extinction of the Anglo Saxon poetic tradition and the transformation of the English society after the Norman invasion of England. However, the verbal form mathelode has given its function of a high poetic word to its synonym cwaeth, which is represented in the poetry of modern times as quoth.
