The Slavs, having distinguished themselves from the Indo-European dialect continuum, as they settled in Europe, formed their own linguistic and cultural traditions, which were based on their developing languages and cultures, and were influenced by the languages and cultures of the peoples with whom fate brought them together at one or another temporal segment of their existence. Plant names (phytonyms) in Slavic languages are able to reveal the original world of nature surrounding the Slavs during their formation as an independent ethnic unit (ethnic continuum). Among the plants of the territory from the Dnieper to the Vistula there are linden, oak, birch, aspen, willow, wormwood, hemp, barley and many others, cereals grew here, that have left a noticeable mark in the history of Slavic linguistic culture. All the names of these plants are of Proto-Slavic origin. Among the ancient phytonyms, there are units dating back to the Indo-European proto-language (linden, birch, rye, millet, etc.), Slavic neologisms (barley, wheat, oak, etc.), borrowings of unclear origin (конопля). As the Slavs settle into new territories, the lexical stock is replenished with new phytonyms of different origins, the semantics of former words change, and various derivational processes with them. The names of plants are included in the folklore works of the Slavs, used as nominations of facts and phenomena of material and spiritual culture. The linguistic and cultural analysis of phytonyms allows us to see the origins of the Slavic world, its development and the richness of the folk culture of the Slavs.
Keywords: Slavs, ancestral homeland, linguoculturological analysis, etymology, lexical fund, borrowing, neologism, sacred role
