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.

More and more often in contemporary linguistics there is talk of secondary uses of proper names, which we observe in sentences of the type “I bought two Kossaks” (paintings done by Kossak). An important question is establishing whether units of this type are still proper names. The change in function of a proper name from onymic to metonymic is accompanied by changes in inflectional basis which may influence the establishment of grammatical gender. The goal of this article is an attempt to answer the question of the character of changes that occur in anthroponyms used secondarily in metonymic function. Superficial analysis leads to the conclusion that the value of the gender category undergoes change. Inasmuch as such an interpretation would bring with it consequences too far-reaching, it is assumed in this work that the changes have an operatory character. A similar consideration is proposed in interpretation of nouns for masculine persons of the type alkoholik [alcoholic], wzrokowiec [visualizer], and in the combinations psy alkoholiki [alcoholic dogs], psy wzrokowce [visualizer dogs].
