Ergonyms constitute a significant part of modern city names reflecting the onomastic specificity of business, cultural, and sporting enterprises. One of the ways of their formation is transonymisation. Although this phenomenon arouses interest among onomasticians, the ergonymic parameters of transonymisation have not been graded in linguistic research. The study attempts to identify the structural elements of ergonymic units used in the city of Ufa and created by means of transonymisation and to provide their subsequent grading on the basis of formal and semantic criteria. We have found that transonymisation may concern an ergonym in full or its part. In case of the incomplete transonymisation of an ergonymic unit, its transonymised component may be central, additional, or equally weighted in relation to other ergonym elements. The semantic gradation of transonymisation processes in ergonyms manifests itself in various referential relations between an original onym and the resulting ergonym created by means of transonymisation – total substitution of the referent, presence of referential changes, and preservation of the referent during the process of transonymisation. The results obtained reveal a possibility of a deeper understanding of transonymisation specificity, thus determining the contribution of our findings to onomastics theory development. Besides, the results of the study elicit the peculiarities of the formation and functioning of modern city ergonyms.
