| description | The article attempts to analyze the linguocultural factors contributing to the phenomenon of polynominativity—multiple names for a single object. This investigation employs toponyms as a case study. The exploration delves into several key factors that give rise to polyonyms: 1) linguosociocultural factors: these factors play a pivotal role in shaping subsystems of names, encompassing both official and unofficial, widely used and niche terms, as well as neutral and connotatively charged expressions. 2) linguogeocultural factors: they contribute to the differentiation of objects based on culturally significant oppositions such as ‘near-far’, ‘left-right’, and subsequently transmit binary characteristics like ‘own-alien’,’ ‘good-bad’, among others. 3) linguoethnocultural factors: these factors elucidate the intricacies of the interaction and mutual influence of onomastic systems from different ethnic groups coexisting within the same geographical space. 4) linguopragmatic factors: these factors drive the multiplication of onomastic units and subsystems for utilitarian purposes, including cultural considerations. 5) linguocognitive factors: they lead to the emergence of ‘double’ names that mirror individual or collective features of a particular worldview model. It is evident that these factors interact dynamically within specific historical, social, and cultural contexts. The study of the intricate interplay between these elements holds promise, and advancements in onomastic ethnolinguistics, coupled with developments in computational linguistics, are particularly noteworthy. Despite progress, researchers tackling this thematic area are confronted with numerous unresolved questions.
