Abstract:

The Borshchiv district, along with the western part of Podolia, was joined to Poland in the 14th century, to which it was to belong, intermittently, until the end of World War II. The purpose of the article is a semantic and structural analysis of the place names in this area, on the basis of which a linguistic picture emerges of the Borszczów district. The most numerous group of physiographic names describes its natural properties – the richness of its rivers and lakes, the animals living there, forested places, numerous undulations and plateaus. Also, ethnic names indirectly refer to the nature of the land itself whereas cultural names – equally numerous – describe the district as a result of the properties acquired due to human activity. The most recent layer being the ideological names created during communism. Older cultural names inform of settlement forms, defensive places, their state after numerous invasions, places related to spiritual, secular culture and the economy. Renewed and diminutive names depend on new settlements being built in the district. Among the names of places derived from personal names, the most numerous are possessive names, which are based on eastern or neutral names, just like with patronymics. The meaning of the name Szuparka remains unclear.
