Journal Title: Записки з ономастики - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue 18
Abstract
It became necessary to investigate the problem concerning the study of the proper names of unique things — chrematonyms. There is no general notion about the borders of chrematonymy in Ukrainian onomastic science. The attention is paid to the fact that the border of chrematonymic field is open. The article stresses the importance of establishment of chrematonomastic terms, so that this field of onomastics can be an equal partner of other disciplines and at the same time fulfill the denomination needs of other languages. The purpose of the article is the analysis of poreyonyms in English onymic system. The main task of this article is the investigation and the creation of new classification of poreyonyms — the class of proper names of means of transportation of onymic system, that is denoted as a complex hierarchic macro system that includes enormous number of proper names substructures belonging to all sectors of onymic system and means the totality of all proper names. In this article we offer our viewpoint on the problem of means of transportation classifying and create a new systematization of this group. The article states that one of the most important facts of naming is the influence of the surrounding social and physical environment and the owner’s desire to fix the extraordinarity of a definite type. Choosing and giving the name to the object, a man more often doesn’t create anything new; he just gives it a name, trying to bring it to eternity. One of the most ancient traditions that has been practically used for so long is the owner’s personal name application. Proper names of unique objects exist to perform a background for a man and his life, picking out definite features, reflecting his process of thinking; to show the objective reality; to open up the speaker’s inner world, his creative personality. The method of systematization is used in the work. The practical value of the work is considered in new basically established ways of chrematonym problem studies. As a result of the investigation, the definition of the term poreyonym was suggested and the classification of poreyonyms was created.
