PLEASE MEET POETONYMOLOGY

The postulates of the poetonym’s meaning specifics, which fix principal difference in onym semantics of fiction work from proper name in language semantics are considered. The correlation of poetonyms with virtual, verbal (about material) referents is considered. It is founded that in “semantic triangular” of poetonym instead of referent (denotation) in general sense there is a virtual referent (denotation). Besides, this virtual denotation is applied not to the class of objects but to one object, marked as unique feature from some kind of class and that is why it is right to name it a referent. The entirety of poetonymosphere is proved defining the most important features of each separate poetonym. It is filled by force lines of poetonymosphere, it is under influence and influences the features of total poetonyms. The notion “Name’s Philology” is proved. The attention is paid to the use of notion “Name’s Philology” which was built in the XX century as a symbiosis of onomastics and semiotics in the creative work of some groups of scientists in significant and humanitarian centers, the main of which was Tatru-Moscow Semiotic School in the USSR. The special direction of lexicography - poetonymography forming theory and improving practice of dictionaries creation of proper names of fiction works is improved.
