About apellativisation of proper names in the vocabulary of student slang

Summary/Abstract: The research on the specifi city of the secondary use of proper names in the so-called non-onomastic function requires a range of analyses of various varieties of the Polish language, including the area of dialects and sociolects. The apellativisation process is as intensive in jargons and slangs as in general Polish. Apellativised proper names are a particularly useful material in linguoculturological research. The factographic material collected in the paper demonstrated a signifi cant nominative and expressive potential of proper names, which is realised in specific connotations transferred from their primary carriers (people and places). The number of the proprietary items applied secondarily proves also the high level of their transonimisation, the results of which are usually short-term in jargons. It was possible to obtain the aforementioned results owing to excerption of the lexical and phraseological material by the criterion of presence of proper names in any form (official, derivative, onomastic derivative). Next, the secondary meaning of a given item was compared with its primary proprietary sphere, which, as a consequence, enabled a description of the connotation of the proper name and preparation of a simplifi ed ideographic classification.
