Proper Names In the Light of Theoretical Onomastics (Part II)

Summary/Abstract: An onymic system is a complex of onymic system-forming elements which enter into various onymically relevant relations. The system-forming elements are naming types and onymic models. Relations between these system-forming elements are supported by generic and specific features; in addition, relations are also established between the formal and content aspects of a naming model. An integral part of the problem of the onymic system is the communication-pragmatic aspect. Supra-individual features (mostly of a pragmatic character) are integrated into the meaning of an onymic sign as the elements of its content. The onymic system and real onymy are two sides of the same coign. They are interrelated, as are general and individual. Onymy exists in social communication; the official and unofficial naming system.
