LXXIII}, number={No 3}, pages={127-141}, journal={Slavia Orientalis}, howpublished={online}, year={2024}, publisher={Komitet Słowianoznawstwa PAN}, abstract={The author discusses the pertinence of natural categorization (as understood according to E. Rosch and others) in the study of Ukrainian eponymy as a lexical and phraseological field viewed from the linguistic-cultural aspect. This article is a case study of eponymy in the lexis and phraseology of the Ukrainian urban Lviv dialect as represented in Leksykon l'vivs'kyi (fourth edition, Lviv, 2019). The analysis of relevant words and collocations contained in this dictionary is based on a broad treatment of eponyms as linguistic items formed from proper nouns (by semantic or formal derivation) or with the latter’s help. The analysis aims to elucidate features qualifying these items as belonging to the centre or periphery of the field, with particular attention to the features of underlying proper nouns relative to the role these names play in the inner form of eponyms, especially in the case of word-play: their belonging to a specific part of speech, their syntactic character and function, the central or marginal onomastic status of the underlying name, the strictly or quasi-eponymic character of the derived entity, and the non-/uniqueness of the derivative relationship of the eponym, either to the proper noun alone or to the proper noun and the common name simultaneously.}, title={Eponyms as a natural category: a case study on the field of eponymy in Лексикон львівський}, type={Artykuł}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/134099/2024-03-SOR-08.pdf}, doi={10.24425/slo.2024.152644}, keywords={eponymy, proper noun, natural category, field, periphery, centre, Lviv Ukrainian dialect}, }
