'Mohyly' (Barrows) is probably the best known poem of the 20th century Czech poet Josef Kostohryz (1907-1987) - and also one of his longest, involving a large variety of motifs and themes, different levels of reality and spatiotemporal settings. The use of a wide range of names identifying various human and mythological beings, places or events provides tools for creating a very specific poetic world, as well as for its later reconstruction. The names used in the poem can also suggest some moments of the poet's own biography in a wider context of the 20th century history.

The article discusses the problem of place, role, meaning and functions of proper names in post-modern advertising texts. The description and analysis proposed herein concern anthroponyms and geonyms. The presentation ofthe material for analysis, taken from the mass media in the years from 2010–2013, was divided into three thematic groups: 1) authentic anthroponyms in the advertising text; 2) non-authentic anthroponyms (artificial names invented by copywriters) as a persuasive advertising component; 3) geonyms in the consumerist communications space. The issues discussed have been divided into problem categories in order to present the material for analysis more clearly, and to highlight the complexity of this process. The problematic aspects have been described within the context of post-modern changes in the identity of language and communication.

The first part of the article presents various approaches to the functions of proper names in literature and lists those which are most commonly encountered in literary onomastics. The primary theoretical point of departure is based on German (K. Gutschmidt, V. Birus, D. Lamping, F. Debus), Polish (A. Wilkoń) and Czech (M. Knappová, S. Pastyřík) scholarly works. The second, analytical, part of the article examines functions from two different perspectives: name – character – reader – author and name – text – literary context – cultural context. It argues that the functions should not be viewed in isolation, but rather, it is necessary to explore the ways in which they are interrelated, complement each other and work together. A single name can have multiple functions. The evaluation of these functions is always based on the relationship between the name and its bearer (literary figure) and is interpreted in the context of a particular work. Names are understood as a part of the onymic system of the work (the so-called “name landscape”) and as an element of the overall construction of the artistic text. Although it is thus far just a note, not a comprehensive concept, the article aims to contribute to the debate on functions.

The article focuses on the subject of classification of commemorative place names. The main purpose of the research is to show the relation between the motivation for the place name and its linguistic form, i.e. the toponymic models and particular formants used to create a place name. The specificity of commemorative place names is illustrated on the one hand through the use of traditional toponymic models and formants and on the other hand through their motivation. Not only personal names, but also place names and chrematonyms appear in the bases of commemorative place names. This issue is illustrated using Czech place names and their development in the context of the Central European countries and the Soviet Union (and later, the Russian Federation) during the 20th century.

A purpose of the article is to present and characterize proper names registered in the German-Polish dictionary by Krzysztof Celestyn Mrongovius (1853/54) with particular consideration of toponyms, especially geographical names, choronyms and hydronyms. Rich and diversified onomastic material, adorned by frequently interesting and valuable remarks by Mrongovius, proves the lexicographer’s good knowledge of the then current as well historical geography, mostly European and Polish, including the lands that were the dearest to him: Pomerania, Warmia and Masuria. Comprehensive acumen of a profoundly and scrupulously educated European of the mid 19th century is confirmed here.

The author of the article seeks to find an answer to the question whether it is possible to determine a priori the truth value of the statement 'M = N' where 'M' and 'N' are proper names of the same particular. He analyses the argumentation of the conception defending the positive answer to the question and tries to present arguments in favor of the opposite view. Let us suppose that the individual 'I' is named by 'M' at time 't1' and by 'N' at time 't2'. If the individual changes considerably during the interval (t1, t2) or presents us from quite different sides at 't1' and 't2', respectively (e.g., as a mountain seen from different sides at the respective time moments), we will be unable to find out a priori, without certain empirical knowledge, whether 'M = N', although there were any doubts about the identity of the baptized individual neither at 't1' nor at 't2'.

Two basic answers have been given to the question whether proper names have meaning, the 'negative' by Mill and later developed by Kripke and the 'affirmative' by Frege and later developed by Searle. My aim is to integrate the two apparently irreconcilable theories by distinguishing the two aspects of the issue. I claim that, roughly speaking, whereas Kripke's 'No Sense View' provides a good answer to the question, 'How are proper names linked to their re-ferents?', Searle's 'Sense View' provides a good account of the issue 'What do we do when we use a proper name?'. Furthermore, I claim that the speakers attend to the referent of the proper name 'both' in virtue of Kripkean chain of communication 'and' in virtue of Searlian occasion-relative sense. Ordinarily, the chain of communication and the Searlian sense yield the same result, i.e. lead to the same referent. In cases of conflict, which are very rare, my intuition sides with the former against the latter. It would seem, therefore, that the only necessary and sufficient condition for a successful reference with a proper name is the existence of the Kripkean chain which links it with its referent.

INDEFINITE DESCRIPTIONS AS REFERRING TERMS

The author argues that indefinite descriptions are referring terms. This is not the ambiguity thesis: that sometimes they are referring terms and sometimes something else, such as quantifiers (as argued by Chastain and recently Devitt). On his view they are always referring terms; and never quantifiers. The author defends this thesis by modifying the standard conception of what a referring term is: a modification that needs to be made anyway, irrespective of the treatment of indefinites. He derives this approach from his speech-act theoretic semantics (2004). The basic thought is that referring terms have as their meanings speech-acts of a certain kind called proto-referring acts. These are acts in which speakers advertise or present intentions to denote, where denotation is a word-world relation, and advertising an intention is acting as if one has intentions, where it is open whether one has them or not, or whether the referring term used denotes or not. The author shows how this works for proper names. The meaning of a proper name is the speech-act proto-referring act type defined by a certain referential tree. This gives us the basis for an account of proper name meaning irrespective of denotation: a uniform treatment of full and empty names. Applied to indefinites, we can capture cases where speakers perform proto-acts - in which they advertise an intention to denote something - where they intend to denote, but others where they do not, but they still perform the proto-act: advertising an intention to denote.

ON ANAPHORS LINKED TO NAMES USED METAPHORICALLY

In their 2018 paper “On the Metaphoric Use of (Fictional) Proper Names”, Corazza & Genovesi explored what speakers do when they utter a fictional name in a metaphorical way to refer to actual individuals. The example given was “Odysseus returned home” referring to their friend Bill, who had returned after a long and hectic journey. With such an example in mind, Corazza & Genovesi claimed that speakers produce a metaphorical utterance where properties of Odysseus are mapped onto the referent that the speaker intends so that they refer to that person. That is to say, the name “Odysseus” somewhat ceases to be a proper name, and instead becomes something akin to a Donnellan’s referential use of descriptions, i.e. a description that successfully picks out an object of discourse even if the latter does not satisfy the descriptive content conveyed by the description. In our example Bill does not satisfy the property of being called “Odysseus”. In this paper, we connect the previous work by Corazza & Genovesi’s with anaphora, in particular with the use of anaphoric definite descriptions linked to a metaphorical use of a proper name. With fictional proper names in mind, we are interested in cases where speakers anaphorically refer to the actual referent. For example, we are interested in utterances of the sort “Odysseus returned home, he1 is hungry” or “Odysseus1 returned home, the/that brave soldier1 is hungry”, where “Odysseus” is metaphorically used to refer to the actual person, Bill, the individual the speaker has in mind. Such sentence leaves us wondering how the anaphoric pronoun or description simultaneously carries the content from the fictional subject, and refers to Bill. On a cursory analysis, anaphora forces the properties attributed to the actual referent (e.g., Bill) into the background, like pragmatic presupposition. In the cases of anaphoric complex demonstratives and definite descriptions, the speaker emphasizes, or makes salient the further implications shared between the fictional character (e.g., Odysseus) and the actual referent (e.g., Bill; and that Bill, like Odysseus, had a harrowing journey).

The article presents naming levels in the prose creations of M. Musierowicz to the year 2001 and her three latest novels, continuing the cycle called „Jeżycjada”. The goal of the comparison was to formulate comments on the properties of authentic names — their equivalents and variants — and successive attempts to incorporate such names into literary communication. The presentation covers the operations, mechanisms, and creative-communicational literary strategies of the writer, both in regard to her choice of the onymic sphere and to making use of the functions of names (or of compilations of them).

The article is an attempt at reconstructing a world-view on the basis of the proper names contained in the novels of Stanislaw Ignacy Witkiewicz (Witkacy) 'Pozegnanie jesieni' (Farewell to Autumn), '622 upadki Bunga' (The 622 Downfalls of Bungo), 'Nienasycenie' (Insatiability), 'Jedyne wyjscie' (The Only Way Out). Analyzing onyms used by Witkacy in his prosaistic composition and comparing them with his outlook on life produces a cohesive vision of the world. Proper names in Witkacy's novels are an expression of the author's relationship with the reality surrounding him, and are full of irony, burlesque, and absurdity. They comprise a unique material with which the artist plays and with the help of which he plays a game with the reader.

ON SEVERAL FUNCTIONS OF PROPER NAMES IN RELIGIOUS DISCOURSE (ON THE MATERIAL OF 'PASTORAL LETTERS OF THE EPISCOPATE OF POLAND')

The article is theoretically methodological and analytically empirical in nature. The theoretical section deals with the status of proper names in various types of discourse and in variations of style in Polish. It proposes combining onomastics with various branches of contemporary analysis of discourse, general linguistics, stylistics, and theories of text and literature. The author considers means of analyzing proper names on lexical, grammatical, textual, semantic-pragmatic, and functional levels. The empirical section is a corroboration of the methodological determinations. The author examines in what way proper names are used in pastoral letters of the episcopate of Poland (1945-1966), which are linguistic designations of specific objects and persons existing in Polish reality (such as: Warszawa, Jasna Gora, Polska, sw. Stanislaw, Henryk Sienkiewicz), and reveals various fragments of the accompanying extralinguistic context (historical and political). Analysis shows that proper names in the pastoral letters are an important element of their rhetoric, linguistic material constructing metaphors such as 'the history of Poland is the life of the people' or 'Poland is a child (a daughter)'. They also serve various stylizational practices (e.g., romantic, Biblical), and thereby the expression of philosophical, historico-physical, ethical, and social content (e.g., the idea of Messianism). Geographical names demarcate a symbolic 'cartography' of Poland, Europe, and the world. Personal names create a category of time, especially of the nation's past and future. Onyms are also sure designations of values and concepts, primarily of a Polonocentric Catholicism, which in turn is an element of dialog with Marxist ideological orientation.

The paper deals with the understanding of proper names. Though the theme goes across various disciplines - e.g. semantics, epistemology, psychology - the paper examines only selected semantic and cognitive aspects of the problem. The question runs: How should we comprehend the thesis of understanding a proper name as knowing what the name refers to? What kind of knowledge is involved here? The question is posed within the direct reference theory framework enriched by the notion of singular proposition and the compositionality principle. The distinction between an expression and an utterance of it is accepted and the original question is split up accordingly. As for expressions (as ideal signs), to understand a proper name is to grasp a meaning axiom along the lines of D. Davidson and J. McDowell. As for utterances of expressions, to understand an utterance of a proper name is to know a piece of information concerning the referent of the name; ideally, it is a fact that can be expressed by an identity statement claiming that the referent of the name under discussion is identical with the individual about which the speaker has a mental file at her disposal.

The article refers directly to Saul Kripke’s well-known work Naming and Necessity and it presents reflections on issues discussed in the book in question that are usually considered in logic courses offered to students of philosophy. The particular subject of reflection is the claim that any identity between proper names, if it holds, must be necessary. An attempt is made to explain how, in this context, one can understand necessity, the role of proper names, and what is involved in the relationship of identity, because the Kripke’s proposals are not always based on a definitive refutation of objections raised by opponents of his solutions.

The article deals with the relationship between the so-called 'named entities', the concept of which has been established by the computational linguistics (namely its fields of Information Extraction and Natural Language Processing), and the proper names, as they are understood by onomasticians. Named entities are understood as those text units that are not included in dictionaries, and therefore cause difficulties during the automatic processing. Named entities include not only proper names, but also numeric expressions, Internet and e-mail addresses, according to some conceptions also biomedical terms, etc. The longest part of the article is devoted to the classification of named entities, as it has been proposed by computational linguists and modified by onomasticians.

The paper discusses the derivation of Bohemian minor place-names from the proper nouns by the suffixes '-ina' and '-inka'. Both of these suffixes are used for formation of minor-place names from anthroponyms, the suffix '-ina' also from toponyms (though this type of formation is rather rare). The geographic distribution of the analysed types of minor place-names is analysed in the paper and represented on the attached map.

Onomastics as an independent linguistic discipline was also formed and developed through studies, articles and comments on current orthographic problems of proper names by Slovak linguists and onomasticians in the Slovenská reč journal. In this article, we have tried to show this development at least partially. We have focused on the solution of theoretical, methodological, etymological and orthographic issues in the research of proper names. We have characterized the works dealing with analyses of onymic lexis and containing synthesizing results of these analyses within the framework of individual onomastic branches, basic types of proper names and thematic areas. We compared the proposed solutions to the problematic phenomena discussed within the state of the art and its results at present.

In a recent paper García - Carpintero (2017) argues that proper names possess, in addition to their standard referential truth conditional content, metalinguistic descriptive senses which take part in semantic presuppositions. The aim of this article is twofold. In the first part the author presents an argument against García - Carpintero’s presupposition view, which he calls the collapse argument. In short, he argues that the view has the unwelcome consequence of making contexts of use and felicitous contexts of use collapse. If this is correct, a presupposition account of the metalinguistic descriptions allegedly associated with proper names proves incorrect. In the second part the author sketches an alternative Millian strategy which is able to account for the evidence which allegedly supports the presupposition view.
