Abstract:
Taking present-day Vilnius County, which marks the cultural and linguistic periphery, as a case study, the attempt is made in this paper to expand the horizons of traditional onomastic research by introducing Cognitive Metaphor Theory (CMT) as an innovative approach to understanding the motivation of toponyms. Onomastic research has traditionally focused on toponyms’ etymology, derivation, and historical context. In contrast, this article explores how the application of CMT enhances our understanding of the cognitive processes inherent in toponymy. In this way, this study contributes to advanc

Abstract:
The paper discusses the problem of transcultural transformation of onomastic metaphor in Russian-Chinese humorous discourse in the light of the synergetic concept of translation space, which serves as the methodological basis of the study. The works of Russian Sinologists and Chinese onomasticians were also used as a theoretical basis for the study. The authors of the paper rely on the idea that in discursive metaphorical field, they are charactonyms having a unique cultural and value potential, that act as the linguistic embodiment of the onomastic metaphor.

Abstract:
The authors of the article discuss the problem of translating an onomastic metaphor in humorous discourse, relying on the results of research in the field of proper name theory, cognitive metaphor theory, comic theory, discourse theory, and the theory of harmonious translation space, which are the research methodology. The purpose of the work is to show that the metaphorical onym, as a complex dynamic transformation of a proper name-anthroponym, has a high cultural potential, and in humorous discourse acquires a pragmatic humorous effect, reflecting the author's intention.

Abstract:
African personal names have communicative contents that reflect the experiences and expectations of the name-giver as well as the bearer. Death-prevention names, for instance, provide some assurance and security that are vital for a child’s survival, given the implicit assumption that certain spiritual forces are at work. The bestowal of despicable and ‘ugly’ names on children whose preceding siblings died shortly after birth is also a common practice among the Nzema, aiming at preventing succeeding children from death.

Abstract:
As newspapers follow editorial work, the author’s identity remains in the background. Hence, newspapers’ discursive features should be studied from textual perspectives to understand the social dimension of the messages produced in such texts. What is more, pragmatically, the text as a whole and its separate language units with their structural elements require careful attention. Thus, this paper aims to analyze onomastic metaphors as one of the structural-stylistic types functioning in the language of newspapers.

Abstract:
A child’s personal name is an integral part of their identity. Names and name negotiation in children’s picturebooks can explore this connection by narrativizing the impact of positive and negative experiences involving name-carriers, name-givers, and name-users. In this study, we began with a framework combining a socio-onomastic perspective with the children’s literature metaphor of “mirrors and windows” (Bishop 1990) and the educational research concept of “damage and desire” narratives (Tuck 2009).

Fray Luis de León (1527-1591) est connu pour ses poésies originales, il l’est beaucoup moins pour ses traductions. Pourtant, c’est bien autour de la traduction que se nouent les principaux enjeux du XVIe siècle : traduire permet de comprendre les trésors littéraires du passés (la Bible et les auteurs gréco-latins), et de forger la langue vernaculaire. Il y a là aussi un grand danger : fray Luis passe plus de quatre ans en prison, accusé par l’Inquisition de « judaïser » entraduisant le Cantique des Cantiques depuis sa version hébraïque.

Their ambiguous affiliation with proper names, or common name enabled critical evaluation of structural and functional definition of proper names as well.

Ninety names of women’s perfumes and perfumed waters excerpted from the website of the Notino cosmetic shop were analysed. The modelling approach led to the creation of the A1 model, which maps the chrematonymic attributes of social relationships, which are reflected in the basic and the auxiliary functional elements with onymic value. In the sample, the basic functional element, that is, explicit information that the product is perfume or perfumed water, was found only three times. The semantic

The research is based on the Collections of anoikonyms gathered between 1963 and 1980. Names containing the element Žid (‘Jew’) are quite common here, e.g., Židák (56), Židovka (93), Židovna (157), etc. They differ in terms of age and are located throughout Bohemia.
