Annotatsiya

This article provides a comprehensive linguocultural analysis of English toponyms, examining their historical layers, semantic models, and cultural significance. The study explores the Celtic, Anglo-Saxon, Norse, Norman-French, and later strata of English place names, demonstrating how each layer reflects distinct aspects of the cultural worldview, social organization, mythology, religion, and historical development of English-speaking communities. Methodologically, the research integrates cultural linguistics, etymological reconstruction, structural-semantic classification, and sociolinguistic analysis, utilizing a corpus of 350 toponyms. The findings reveal that English toponymy constitutes a multilayered cultural system encoding centuries of ethnic interaction, settlement history, land-use patterns, religious traditions, and ideological influences. The study confirms the effectiveness of linguocultural methodology for interpreting place names as cultural texts that preserve collective memory and shape national identity.
