The author analyzes the forms of organization of research communities, their activities and main scientific projects (notably, those of the English Place-Name Society), the development of British place-name studies in the 20th and 21st centuries. The author also considers publications dealing with general problems of toponymy, geographic names of foreign origin (above all, Scandinavian and Celtic) as well as with different classes of place-names.

Most commonly, these nicknames would originally refer to a clerical order or office (e.g. Clark < clerk) and then subsequently take the form of a patronymic (e.g. Vickerson < vicar). Some of these are properly occupational, designating the office itself (e.g. Prest) or the relation to people in holy or monastic orders: a familial (the name could be inherited by legitimate or, after the 12th c., illegitimate, children) or working one (e.g. Monkman). Alternatively, such nicknames are metaphoric denoting people that resembled priests, monks, etc. (e.g. Cardinal). A number of nicknames refer to diverse minor church offices like sexton and chanter, as well as religiously and socially marked people like palmer. There is also the type of metonymic nicknames that describe the conduct of the bearer in religious and moral terms, e.g. as pious or pra...
MEDIEVAL ENGLISH NICKNAMES AND SURNAMES WITH CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATIONS, 2020

Наиболее распространенный тип таких когноменов восходит к на-званиям церковных санов, чинов, иерархических должностей и профессий, связанных с церковью, которые выступали как обозначения соответствующего занятия человека (Clark < clerk 'клерк, дьяк') и затем могли передаваться в виде патронима (Vickerson < vicar 'священник-викарий'). Помимо этого, они указывали на работников священнослужителей и монастырей (Monkman < monk 'монах'), а также использовались как характеризующие прозвища людей, в чем-либо соответствующих стереотипным образам этих социальных ролей (Pope 'Папа Римский'). Менее распространенные, но более вариативные «событий-ные» когномены происходят от названий праздников, на которые приходятся дни рождения людей, получивших прозвища (Christmas 'Рождество'), и от обозначения ролей, которые их носители играли в средневековых церковных драмах (Herod 'Ирод')-важной части жизни общества в этот период времени. Еще одним подтипом «событийных» прозвищ были те, что происходили от излюбленных и часто повторяемых выражений человека-молитвенных присловий (Goodspeed < God speed 'Бог в помощь [тебе]') или, наоборот, клятв-ругательств. Логика статьи построена в соответствии с ономасиологическим подходом, предпринята попытка более точно определить возможную мотивацию некоторых прозвищ. C точки зрения механизмов номинации, в анализируемом материале преобладают метонимические переходы (в противоположность метафорическим), сравнительно невысока доля дезидеративных имен. В научный оборот вводится значительное количество языкового материала, в отдельных случаях отмечаются параллели с русскоязычными прозвищами, а также дается краткая характеристика возникновения английских прозвищ в целом. Публикация продолжает ряд статей автора, посвященных влиянию христианства на английское и в целом европейское имятворчество.
The article surveys Medieval English nicknames and the derivative modern surnames carrying Christian associations through their motivation. Most commonly, these nicknames would originally refer to a clerical order or offi ce (e.g. Clark < clerk) and then subsequently take the form of a patronymic (e.g. Vickerson < vicar). Some of these are properly occupational, designating the offi ce itself (e.g. Prest)or the relation to people in holy or monastic orders: a familial (the name could be inherited by legitimate or, after the 12th c., illegitimate, children) or working one (e.g. Monkman). Alternatively, such nicknames are metaphoric denoting peoplethat resembled priests, monks, etc. (e.g. Cardinal). A number of nicknames refer to diverse minor church offi ces like sexton and chanter, as well as religiously and socially marked people like palmer. There is also the type of metonymic nicknames that describe the conduct of the bearer in religious and moral terms, e.g. as pious or prayerful (e.g. Holyman). Less widespread but more varied are “event-nicknames” under which heading the author subsumes what is traditionally called pageant names, from the alleged roles in Medieval drama (e.g. Herod), and names deriv-ing from church festivals (e.g. Christmas). Religious associations also appear in names derived from oaths and favourite phrases of the named persons (e.g. Godspeed). The array therefore puts on display a wide range of Medieval social roles and attitudes, and allows to speculate on their respective prominence. Parallels are drawn with Old Russian names and nicknames, and sev-eral alternative explanations or specifi cations for English nicknames are suggested. The article continues the series of publications devoted to the infl uence of Christianity on the English and, wider, Medieval European namegiving

В частности, описываются событийные и целевые топонимы, связанные с обычаями посещения церкви по воскресеньям, с особыми ритуалами и традицией поминальных вкладов. Ключевые слова: топонимы, ономасиология, мотивация, языковая картина мира, этнолингвистика. Abstract: The article deals with onomasiological parallels in place-names that mention prayer, across several European countries. In particular, we look on so-called Ereignisnamen or event-place-names and endowment place-names reflecting church-going customs, special ceremonies and the tradition of the endowment.

Вводится в научный обо-рот на русском языке ценный и редкий языковой материал. Abstract: The article deals with the so-called situational place-names, or Ereignisnamen, names referring to events and happenings, in the English toponymy. Major types of such names are outlined, including ones reflecting typical everyday activities of nominators, and proper events or happenings.

Apart from ecclesiastical landmarks proper, there are other landscape features that have names with Christian associations. Such place-names may be grouped in three broad categories with regard to the spheres of association, namely, 'holiness', 'the Church' and 'the Bible'. In considering the motivation behind these names, it is also convenient to apply a grid of spatially relevant factors (location, dweller, ownership, dedication, event, quality) to bring out their typology. This paper examines English Christian place-names with the help of this approach, drawing typological parallels from other languages.
