Evolution of Axiological Modality in Siberian Tatars Antroponymic System

The article deals with the evolution of axiological modality in the anthroponymic system of the Siberian Tatars in synchrony and diachrony, in the aggregate of closely related parameters of language and speech. The distinction between the synchronic and diachronic approaches is related to the word-forming units of the language, which contain information about the value system of an ethnic group. Evaluation in synchrony is defined as the state of consciousness of the subject of speech. This manifests itself in such parameters as the source of knowledge or opinion, the purpose of the message, emotions and desires, and the degree of confidence. We consider the functioning of language concepts in a certain historical period as images of "name (word) = person", "name (word) = the word of God", "name = symbol", where the main unit of study is the word in its lexical and semantic relations. Evaluativeness, as a set of semantic and stylistic features of language units, provides the ability to act in communicative speech (practical) as a means of subjective expression of the speaker's attitude to the content of speech. This is a sign of subjective modality. The study of the axiological modality in diachrony allowed us to identify the reasons for the change of some language concepts to others, as well as to establish which modus served as the base for cognitive modifications. The study of the modus of the subject in synchrony reflects human cognitions at a certain stage of the development of society. In diachrony - in the process of historical development of an ethnic group, concepts are fixed in archival documents, speech works, being fixed by writing or human memory, they belong to an objective modality. The consideration of the evolution of modes (speech-thinking activity of subjects) in close connection with the history of society, the development of language, and linked to the laws of semantic processes in vocabulary, with the laws of extra-linguistic logical or psychological phenomena is an axiological modality in diachrony. In the structure of value judgment in synchrony, the lexical-semantic development of anthroponyms of the Siberian tatar is essentially considered, where the lexical meaning of a word-antroponym is understood as its sematics and pragmatics that is included in the modal framework of interpretation, and one of the features of which is the ability of the semantic structure of a word to manifest itself through lexical-semantic subsystems: synonymic series, lexical-semantic and expressive-stylistic groups of words.
