The subject of the article is an attempt to describe the structure of a proprial mental lexicon as exemplified by naming disorders of neurological origin occurring in aphasia. Various means are discussed here of compensating for deficiencies of the naming process (so-called anomia) that allow illustrating the construction of a mental dictionary of proper names. The architecture of this lexicon is structured in a superior-subordinate manner with the help of various types of relations: whole — part, general — detailed, native — foreign, real — fictional, also taking into account commonly known categories: persons, places, representatives of various professions, and persons of similar interests (musicians, sportsmen, journalists, politicians, authorities).
