HISTORICAL FOUNDATIONS FOR THE EMERGENCE OF THE TERM CHREMATONYM AND ITS FIELD LIMITS

Journal Title: Слов’янський збірник - Year 2014, Vol 0, Issue 18

Abstract

It became necessary to investigate the problem concerning the study of the proper names of unique things – chrematonyms. In this article we offer several viewpoints of significant Slovak and foreign (Czech, Polish, Russian and German) onomasticians regarding the problem of specifying and defining chrematonyms in the onymic system. At the same time, we offer our own suggestion for the classification of chrematonyms. There is no general notion about the borders of chrematonymy in Ukrainian onomastic science. The attention is paid to the fact that the border of chrematonymic field is open.The article stresses the importance of chrematonomastic term establishment, so that this field of onomastics can be an equal partner of other disciplines and at the same time fulfill the denomination needs of other languages. The purpose of the article is the analysis of the existing in linguistics definitions of the term chrematonym, their comparison and systematization, and the distinguishing of chrematonym classes. Also the analysis of different ways to investigate proper names is carried out. The definition of the term chrematonym is suggested and the classification of chrematonyms is created. The article states that one of the most important facts of naming is the influence of the surrounding social and physical environment and the owner’s desire to fix the extraordinarity of a definite type. Choosing and giving the name to the object, a man more often doesn’t create anything new, he just gives it a name, trying to bring it to eternity. One of the most ancient traditions that has been practically used for so long is the owner’s personal name application. The article also determines and enumerates the functions of onyms, especially of chrematonyms. They are as following: singling out, characterizing, identifying and signifying. Proper names of unique objects exist to perform a background for a man and his life, picking out definite features, reflecting his process of thinking, to show the objective reality, to open up the speaker’s inner world, his creative personality. We impose and investigate the individual chrematonymic frame as the structure of the mental lexicon which embraces the knowledge about all the chrematonyms represented in his mental lexicon. The method of systematization is used in the work. Summing up, the individual chrematonymic field comprises 7 subfields, 39 subsubfields and 6 microfields (segments).The practical value of the work is considered in new basically established ways of chrematonym problem studies. As a result of the investigation, the definition of the term chrematonym was suggested and the classification of chrematonyms was created.
