Abstract

The author presents her monography 'Proper names in the world of text' (original language Russian) in which an integrative approach is proposed, based on principles of text linguistics, narrative theory and literary onomastics. The immediate environments of proper names (microtextology) on the one hand, and the whole text as a space for realization and functioning of proper names (macrotextology) on the other hand are investigated on the material of the modern Russian fiction. Some new concepts and terms have been introduced and interpreted: onymic information, onymic anticipation and retardation (as main text strategies of name introducing), deconstructive function of proper name in text (in addition to proper name functions defined by D. LAMPING). The concept of namelessness in fiction and different metamorphoses of names in slang are also discussed.
