A lexicographer at the foot of the rock tower of Babel. Popular music and dictionaries of proper names

Abstracts

EN

This article focuses on the place that proper names originating from rock, or popular music in general, take or could take in dictionaries of proper names. It starts with an overview of onomastica published thus far, revealing a limited interest of Polish researchers in proper nouns related to this form of artistic activity. This discovery prompted the author to share his suggestions regarding such an onomasticon, or even onomastica, where names from popular music and specific categories would take a central place. Conditions are proposed which such a dictionary can or must meet based on the categories used in lexicography such as macro-, micro-, media- and megastructure. The final section of the article presents examples of the proposed lexicographic entries used in practice. Prepared on the example of the proper noun ‘Yes’, the first proposal is to limit the term description to basic data (spelling, pronunciation, explanation of the name, inflection in Polish). The second option develops the entry and refines it: firstly, by adopting the microstructure plan with the special role of a commentary, and secondly, in the context of the media-structure, i.e. by presenting it among other related entries.
