Abstract:

The analysis of names is an effective tool for examining the identity of a character, thereby enabling a deeper understanding of the charactersand themes. Names can reveal fundamental elements of a character's identity, heritage, and destiny. This study explores the significance of names through the literary works of Calixthe Beyala, Ananda Devi, and Tahar Ben Jelloun. Using Philippe Hamon's semiotics of characters (1977), we address the following key question: To what extent can a name, whether a specific one or a pseudonym, be considered part of a character's identity? We will answer these q

This study examines the challenges posed by translating the invented character names in Mervyn Peake’s Gormenghast trilogy into Turkish. It investigates the methods used in the process and the factors that influence the translator’s methodological decisions. A total of 99 character names were collected from Peake’s novels. The list included full names, first names, surnames, surnames with titles, and nicknames. The Turkish equivalents of these names from the trilogy were then gathered from the two Turkish translations produced by the same translator. The study found that four main methods were

Abstract:

Abstract Readers may infer that literary characters are sympathetic or unsympathetic based on the perceived phonetics of character names. Drawing on brand name literature in marketing, we investigate whether Slovene and English speakers can identify sympathetic and unsympathetic characters in Charles Dickens’s Oliver Twist based solely on their names, despite being unfamiliar with the novel. Both Slovene and English speakers can make this distinction, suggesting that sound symbolism may help communicate Dickens’s intended characterizations.

The aim of the research is to analyze the semantics of the character’s names in Bazhov’s tales. The hypothesis of the study is the following statement: symbolic and mythological conceptions about the named character, together with the context and meaning of the lexemes that make up the name, form the semantics of the name of one or another character.

This article draws upon the material of Russian cultural and linguistic tradition and analyses one particular phenomenon. In this phenomenon, a mythological character never existed in the folk belief system, but rather was generated by a linguistic sign or a text fragment. By their nature, the names of the characters studied in this paper derive from two types of verbal signs: 1) character names formed from regular lexical units — common nouns (роди́мчик, rodímchik ‘a seizure accompanied by convulsions and loss of consciousness’ > a character named Ро́дька, Ród’ka) or proper nouns (the fo

In Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling presents to readers a foreign world in the familiar setting of England with a wide array of characters who have a wide variety of names. Harry Potter is challenging for translators who must translate character names while maintaining a balance between the foreign and the familiar, as does Rowling. Rowling’s work is identified as a piece of ‘kiddult’ literature where it is directed at both adults and children. Additionally, Rowling is described as winking at adults through her use of allusions in character names. Some translators argue in favour of localizing all c

Back when I taught dramaturgy, I always used to spend a class or two talking about character names and how important they were to the way we perceived the characters themselves. Our names are our destinies, I used to say to my students, only half-jokingly. We all have associations with names, likes or dislikes, preconceptions that we have to overcome before we get to know any individual or character. We are programmed to respond to names in our own particular way.

Abstract:

Proper names are double-character words: national and international. This is why translation requires an in-depth knowledge of the culture and civilization of the source language people. If a name is used for communication purposes (in a literary work), it must be treated in a special way. These are the most difficult cases for a translator, who has to be creative. Transferring names from one culture to another requires communication skills, but also intercultural skills: respect for traditions and cultural values. Proper names-anthroponyms can only be translated in certain contexts, where the

Abstract:

Strictly homology-based character names have the benefit of a consistent, evolutionary basis but must overcome practical problems in terms of the function that names serve as tools for communication. Character names should be fixed at the level of primary (rather than secondary) homology in order to maintain nomenclatural stability between competing phylogenies and to allow characters to potentially re-optimize with the addition of data. Inconsistent rules determine the priority of names for anatomical structures, in marked contrast to the stability and clarity provided by Codes for taxonomic

The paper explores the variety of onomastic strategies in the short story Nikola Znamensky by Fyodor Reshetnikov, a follower of the ethnographic movement in the Russian literature of 1860s. It is typical for his works to omit the use of ﬁrst names in the titles (Glumovs, Aunt Oparikh, Gossip Mironikh, Ilyich, Maxya, Yashka) whilst they play an important role in the stories.

Abstract:

Translating character names in fiction can be difficult, as names can perform different functions: not only naming, but also highlighting characteristic features. Translators of fiction have to make certain decisions how to render names in the Target Text and retain the functions and meanings they serve in the Source Text. The aim of this article is to analyse the translation of character names in C. Collodi’s Le avventure di Pinocchio into Lithuanian, Polish and Russian and to compare the translation startegies chosen by the translators. The results of this analysis show that the most common

Abstract:

This study is concerned with introducing a sociolinguistic analysis of personal names and the process of naming in English. It is based on the hypothesis that naming practice is not done randomly even when it is done fictionally. Writers/Novelists are having certain aims and intentions in choosing names for their fictional characters. The specific aim of this paper is formulated to examine the role that society plays in character naming by the writers. Studies on naming are various and tackled from the viewpoint of semantics, anthropology and other disciplines. No study is done in sociolinguis

Abstract:

The article is devoted to the study of the onomastic space of Volodymyr Lys's novel «The Century of Jacob». The relevance of the research is determined by the fact that in modern linguistics the potential possibilities of literary and artistic anthroponyms of prose texts by famous authors have not yet been sufficiently studied. Studying the proper names of the heroes of artistic works requires special attention. It was found that the source of character names is traditional Ukrainian anthroponymy. The author uses Polish and Jewish names. It is proved that literary and artistic anthroponyms in

As one of the urgent problems of modern Kazakh linguistics, it is possible to form a theoretical and methodological basis for the field of poetic onomastics by studying the title of a work of art, names denoting the character on the part of the writer. Consideration of onyms in the language of the work, including poetonyms in cognitive orientation in ethno–cultural and ethno-linguistic integrity - onomastic units that mentally characterize the surrounding reality, serves as a basis for maximum refinement of the experience of cognition accumulated on the scale of "language-consciousness-nation"

This study reports the results of surveys of Slovene and English speakers’ responses to the sounds of fictional characters’ names. Responses were measured with two kinds of surveys – implicit and explicit – that gauged how readers reacted to the names of characters in Slovene rural novellas of the 19th and 20th centuries. The focus was on the initial sounds of names. The hypothesis was that certain sounds correlate with positive and negative names and that Slovene and English speakers would respond similarly to names of positive and negative fictional characters. If supported, the hypothesis j

Since gender information is often missing in relevant datasets, studies rely on tools to infer genders from names. However, available open-sourced Chinese gender-guessing tools are not yet suitable for scientific purposes, which may be partially responsible for female Chinese being underrepresented

The writer valued women character in his plays and even named some of his plays with the names of women: “Vefalı Seriye”, “Ulduz”, “Od gelini”, “Sevil”, “Almaz”. It makes women names in his plays more important. Personal names of various origins have been used in Jafar

In Ghanaian culture a name could tell the story of when a person is born, how the person is born or some special event at the time of their birth. However, difficulties in pronunciation, as well as misinterpretation of local names by the then colonial masters resulted in alterations of many local names to the convenience of the British and Portuguese, resulting in evolution of some local names over the years to new pronunciations and spellings. During colonial dominance and immediate post-colonial period, some renowned Ghanaian playwrights used names that reflect this confusion and consequentl
