Особові імена як концепти та форми їх профілювання

Abstract

The situations in which the first name of the person, instead of his surname becomes the leading concept and embodies onomastically his personality are being examined in this article. It includes the survay of the following: 1) names of well-known and famous people; 2) names-generaiisations in proverbs, sayings and idioms; frequently such names become appellatives; 3) empty names, that are not associated with a definite person; 4) names of monarchs; 5) names that belong to the ancient monolexeme anthroposystem Profiling of names manifests itself distinctly, both in denotative sence - naming different people (R.Langacker's conception of profiling), and in connotative sense - different views on the same person (J.Baitminski’s conception of profiling)
