COGNITIVE-ASSOCIATIVE STRUCTURE OF A PROPER NAME

https://doi.org/10.18384/2310-7278-2022-5-32-41

Abstract

Aim. We analyze manifestations of the “psychic” semantics of the subject, namely its reflexive association with the onym as a stimulus.

Methodology. The research is based on the results of an onomastic associative experiment, the purpose of which is to determine reflexive-associative reactions to such toponyms as Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Krasnodar. We identify and describe reflexive associations forming a certain onomastic concept as a mental structure, which is a model of the speaker’s orientation in the world at some part of the linguistic picture.

Results. All manifestations of the reflexive association on the onym as a stimulus are classified as follows: nomenclature, geographical location, regional identification, sights, famous personalities, social opportunities, physiological perception, emotional and social perception, and folklore association.

Research implications. Analysis of each selected category reflects the relationship between the use of proprietary and common vocabulary, depending on what associations arise in the process of the recipient’s mental activity.
