In this paper I reflect on whether ethnonyms and demonyms can appropriately be considered proper names at all from the semantic perspective, and if so, on what basis. I believe the answer is yes, perhaps unsurprisingly, but there are troublesome conceptual tensions to overcome in the relation between logic and linguistics. Nevertheless an understanding of the difficulties can be constructive, and in this case it lead to a proposal for a terminological innovation that has useful consequences.

The present article focuses on the system of demonyms of the administrative division of Mexico. The research tasks of the article consist in systematizing the morphological devices, revealing the cultural layers of demonyms, the parameters of their variation, and cognitive and affective role regarding the self-identification of the Mexican people. The authors discuss subcultural components, as well as the algorithms of formation of the unofficial demonyms, reconstruct the motivation of culturally bound demonyms. The conducted analysis has allowed presenting the system of Mexican demonyms as a multi-dimensional, nationally specific entity, which at the same time belongs to a unique functional Spanish-speaking continuum.

Článek se zaměřuje na systém demonym v administrativních jednotkách v Mexiku. Výzkumné úkoly se soustřeďují na systematizaci morfologických prostředků, odkrývání kulturních vrstev demonym, parametrů jejich proměnlivosti a jejich kognitivní a emocionální role pro sebeidentifikaci mexických obyvatel. Autorky rozebírají subkulturní komponenty a způsoby tvoření neoficiálních demonym. Rekonstruují také motivaci vzniku kulturně vázaných demonym. Provedená analýza umožnila ukázat systém mexických demonym jako multidimenzionální, národně speficikou entitu, která zároveň tvoří součást jedinečného španělskojazyčného kontinua.
