Journal Title: Мова - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 27
Abstract
The article studies the English artistic and literary proper names to denote natural celestial objects — cosmopoetonyms. The purpose of this paper is the establishment of the functioning of cosmopoetonyms in artistic speech. As the object of study English cosmopoetonyms were chosen, as the subject — their nominative-denotative classifi cation. As the research materials cosmopoetonyms of D. Adams’ novel «The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy» serve, total amount of 63 units. In the studied literary work such cosmopoetonyms were singled out: planetopoetonyms — proper names of planets (total — 39); astropoetonyms — proper names of stars (the total amount — 13); galactopoetonyms — the names of galaxies in artistic speech (5) and nebulae (2); constelopoetonyms — proper names of constellations (3); satelitonym that should be termed as satelitopoetonym — literary and artistic proper name of the satellite (1). Conclusions. It becomes clear that much of the cosmopoetonymic sector of the analyzed work is a refl ection of alleged name creation of the literary representatives of other worlds, that is 55.55 %, which contrasts with the Earth cosmonyms, which constitute 23.8 %. So cosmopoetonyms play an important role in the structure of the artistic work, they help the author to create the authentic fantasy world. Prospects for further research suggest the study of cosmopoetonyms on a wide English-language sci-fi material with the special attention given to the denotative-qualitative classifi cation.
