TY - JOUR AU - Gałkowski, Artur PY - 2020/07/29 Y2 - 2024/03/28 TI - Real and quasi heortonyms as intercultural contextualized and conceptualized names JF - Prace Językoznawcze JA - PJUWM VL - 22 IS - 3 SE - Articles DO - 10.31648/pj.5707 UR - https://czasopisma.uwm.edu.pl/index.php/pj/article/view/5707 SP - 73-90 AB - <p>The paper develops an onomastic-cognitive study of heortonyms (feast names) as special<br>chrematonymic units which, functioning like ideonyms identifying socio-cultural initiatives,<br>transfer contextual and conceptual content related to the object of their denomination,<br>i.e. the semantic message encoded in them. It is proposed to classify heortonyms as<br>names of recurrent or occasional events commemorating or drawing attention to a specific<br>idea from the circle of non-material culture. Heortonyms are monorematic, or more often<br>polyrematic proper names used to conceptualize feasts related to religion, and similarly<br>qualified dedications of days in the calendar, inspired by secular or parareligious culture.<br>Hence, the classification categorizes the studied phenomenon into two groups: “usual/real<br>heortonymy”, falling within the scope of typical religious onymy, and “quasi-heortonymy”,<br>whose objects function in line with the communicative principle of associative evocation<br>based on the (para)religious formula and the pattern of social campaigns. The analysis<br>of these two types of heortonyms has an intercultural character, assuming that both real<br>and quasi-heortonyms belong simultaneously to various cultures and have the potential to<br>penetrate other cultural areas, depending on the context, entering religious, ideological,<br>social, commercial and creative-media-related discourse. The discussion and conclusions<br>are results of a cognitive analysis of Polish and English real and quasi-heortonymic units<br>derived from data recorded in religious and secular calendars of global culture, mostly<br>related to Western civilization. The research has an added value presenting an onomastic-<br>terminological opinion on the definition and the scope as well as on the correlation of<br>heortonyms with other structures of ideative chrematonymy or chrononymy.</p> ER -
