    FINNISH PLANT NAMES MOTIVATED BY THE HABITAT OF PLANTS AND THEIR ENGLISH EQUIVALENTS: COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS // Tomsk Journal of Linguistics and Anthropology. 2017. Issue 4 (18). P. 9-15

    The article is concerned with the comparison of Finnish and English plant names. These languages belong to different families – Uralic and Indo-European, which results in significant discrepancies in the systems of folk plant taxonomy. Yet Finnish and English plant names also have similarities that can be of particular interest for research. The analysis is based on Finnish plant names that denote the habitat of plants. The article considers Finnish plant names with the elements vesi “water” and pelto “field”; these words are compared to the names of the same plants in the English language, which are viewed diachronically. Having studied these folk plant names, the author traces similarities and differences in nomination of the same natural realia in typologically distinct languages.

    Keywords: plant names, common plant names, Finnish, English, motivation based on the habitat of plants, comparative analysis
