Summary/Abstract: The description of proper names as textual components of evaluation shows the ways of expressing values in a literary text by the use of these linguistic units. To present the issue the material from the three newest teenage novels by Małgorzata Musierowicz (Feblik, McDusia, Wnuczka do orzechów) was used. The evaluating function of names in literary communications was discussed on two analytical grounds: 1) interpretation of onyms as coloquial ways of conceptualization of reality and 2) the evaluating beliefs included in the ontogenetic language of values of the novels’ author. The described type of evaluation visible in the characters’ utterances (dialogues, monologues), the author’s comments and the stage directions is shown in the semantics of usage and the word formation constructions.
