Abstract

The peculiarities of German and French toponymic systems are the result of historical and extralinguistic development. The system of word forming patterns and its structural components are represented as a result of the interaction of languages. It allows to analyse German and French toponyms as subsystems of onymiс vocabulary. Loan formants, which determined social-cultural nature of toponyms, are considered. Special attention is paid to the process of onymization of appellatives. Structural modeling of German and French toponyms is presented. A toponym, as a unit of language, identifies geographical objects, it is a part of the speech reflection of human activity in the language and preserves linguistic components in its morphological structure related to the languages of people who lived in this territory in the past, to historical events that influenced the formation of German and French toponymicon. Morphological formants reveal a close relationship between German and French toponymicon. They allow us to speak about the historical origin of the toponym especially about the language influenced the origin of onyms.
