The subject of the article consists of proper names used in the texts of memoirists from the 19th and early 20th centuries . Predicative use of proper names, based to a significant extent on metaphorical and, more rarely, metonymic references to so-called encyclopedic connotations of onyms with positive or negative overtones, enables observation of changes in the categorization of individual lexical units and of the skill with which they use the new values. Mythological names, given names and surnames of historical and literary figures, ethnonyms (names of nationalities) and geographic names (names of towns) are subject to partial (textual) or complete (systemic) appellativization. Lexicalized proprial derivatives functioning on the linguistic-textual level, which belong to the category of common expressions, are - at least to a certain degree - a carrier of information on the social, political, moral or cultural situation at the time. Non-stabilized spelling of this type of name attests to graphical inconsistency of the text's author or an incomplete process of appellativization.

This paper deals with the dialectal names of birds which are homophones to personal names, for example 'marcin' (corncrake (Crex crex)), 'wojtek' (stork (Ciconia ciconia)), 'jadwiska' (crested lark (Galerida cristata)). The authoress analyzes these names regarding the type of nomination. Names such as 'zofija', 'marcin and 'agata' are onomatopoeic words that reflect also folk etymology. The inhabitants of rural areas imitated the sound the birds emitted using personal names. Names such as 'wojtek', 'stas', both meaning stork (Ciconia ciconia), reflected the anthropocentric point of view. There are also bird names which have temporal motivation. It is connected with the time when the birds appear in Poland after the winter season, for example, if the stork came back near St. Gregory's day (previously on March 12th), it was named 'grzegorz'.
