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.

W latach 1931-1934 Kazimierz Ajdukiewicz sformułował dwie wersje teorii znaczenia. Tarski wykazał, że druga wersja teorii dopuszcza moż- liwość istnienia równoznacznych nazw o różnej denotacji. Cecha ta zo- stała uznana przez Tarskiego i Ajdukiewicza za dyskwalifikującą teorię. W artykule dokonuję porównania obu wersji teorii, przede wszystkim ze względu na podstawową definicję wzajemnej wymienialności wyrażeń. Pokazuję, że wbrew rozpowszechnionej opinii zarzut Tarskiego dotyczy także pierwszej wersji teorii. Siła argumentu Tarskiego opiera się na założeniu, że żadna adekwatna teoria znaczenia nie może dopuszczać istnienia równoznacznych nazw o różnej denotacji. Podejmuję dyskusję z tym stanowiskiem.

In the years 1931-1934 Kazimierz Ajdukiewicz formulated two versions of the theory of meaning. Tarski showed that the second version of the theory allows for the existence of synonymous names with different denotations. Tarski and Ajdukiewicz believed that this feature disqualified the theory. In the article I briefly present the assumptions of the theory and make a detailed comparison of both versions of the theory, primarily because of the basic definition of the interchangeability of expressions. For this purpose I present a formalization of the basic definitions and show that Tarski's objection also applies to the first version of the theory. The strength of Tarski's argument is based on the assumption that no adequate theory of meaning can permit the existence of synonymous names with different denotations. I undertake a discussion with this standpoint.
