Journal Title: Записки з ономастики - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue 18
Abstract
The article deals with onyms as a component of epigraph. Every onym, used by the writer in his work, always contains crucial information for understanding of the literary text. It is the validity of the onym, when authors choose intertextual elements with proper names for their achievement. To determine intertextual information of the proper names in epigraphs, we have set the following objectives: 1) to clarify the typology and meaning of onyms in epigraphs; 2) to characterize the source of quotations; 3) to determine the cause of a particular epigraph choice. Object of the study is Ukrainian epigraphs with onyms, and the subject of the study is the function of onyms in epigraphs. The largest group of onyms in epigraphs is represented by toponyms, including oykonyms, horonyms, hidronyms and hodonyms. If epigraph anthroponyms and toponyms are, to some extent, associated with the context of works, the ideonyms, ergonyms and prahmatonyms fulfill nominatively referential function. Thus, the most common are background onyms that contribute to the effect of reliability, provide a portable image and intertextual information, configure the reader on an objective reading of the text. The research prospects are seen in holistic characteristic of epigraphs as elements of another’s speech in the structure of a literary text.
