Journal Title: Записки з ономастики - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue 18
Abstract
The research deals with the peculiarities of proper names’ motivation, particularly those which nominate websites (siteonyms), which is the subject of our investigation. In our previous papers we outlined the functional, structural, derivational, and partly motivational peculiarities of siteonyms. The aim of current investigation is to further develop the notion of sytonimic motivation by outlining and classifying cases of mixed motivation, which is the subject of this research. When selecting a name for a newly created website its creator usually has a definite extralinguistic reason for selecting a particular name for it. This is called a motive of motivation. In some cases there is more than one motive of nomination for one siteonym. Such cases that are found in 1000 most frequently visited websites according to Alexa, Inc. are categorized and described in the research. In further researches we plan to classify according to motivation siteonyms that nominate sites which perform different functions.
