Проблема онтологічної природи антропоніма

Abstract

The ontological nature of antroponyms caused by the ontological treatment of language withtin the space of which the internal and external world of the man exists and which is crcatcd by this language. But an antroponym like a small box inserted into a big box of the ontological nature of language, has its original peculiarity and incomparable essence. The ontological nature of a name is reflected primarily in the act of nomination of the man, as the given name necessarily envisages the knot of socio-cultural traditions and motivations, which become a distinctive expression of the time. In such a way, the name as a condensation of mental and social processes bccomes the escaping present hanging betw.een the past and the future.
