Abstract

The author attempts to explain the origin of place-names with components aҡ (white) and ҡara (black) in the Bashkir toponymy based on a wide involvement of the facts of mythopoetic symbolism. The study of color symbolism in place-names helps to reveal the code of ethnocultural information embedded in place-names, as well as to identify people's worldviews and fragments of the ethnic view of the world. As the analysis shows, the colors аҡ (white) and ҡара (black) in the Bashkir folk culture, including the toponymy, create a binary opposition white - black, often correlated with the opposition good - bad. In the formation of linguocultural competence of students of philological faculties studying the language of the region, in particular the ethno-linguistic, ethno-cultural, linguocultural, and socio-cultural aspects of its studying play an important role.

Keywords: Bashkir language, toponymy, ethnolinguistics, color symbolism, linguocultural competence
