Abstract

The article deals with proper names formed by means of blending, i.e. merging two or more words, at least one of which, in its turn, is a proper name – an onym. It is stated that words formed in this way are mainly English, but they also occur in Russian, German and French, although to a much lesser extent. All blended onyms can be divided into several groups, of which the most numerous are anthroponyms (baby-names, fused names and / or surnames of married couples, combined names of characters, concocted by fans, etc.) and toponyms. This way of merging proper names is especially popular in the United States – in particular, names for groups of states and border-towns. Despite the predominance of English-language examples in general, there are some blended nicknames in Russian, many of which are facetious, or even derogatory. A relatively small number of blended onyms are names of enterprises and organizations, trademarks, and objects of material culture. We were the first to single out a separate group – names of holidays. The most common is the fusion of clipped stems of one or both words, although there are cases of overlapping and insertion, as well as blends formed of three stems. This paper will be of interest to both lexicologists, since it deals with the issues of word formation and specialists in the field of onomasiology, since the research is focused on proper names.
名词的融合:论缩略语专有名词的形成问题
本文讨论的是通过混合形成的专有名称,即合并两个或两个以上的单词,其中至少有一个是专有名称-一个名字。据说,以这种方式形成的单词主要是英语,但也出现在俄语、德语和法语中,尽管比例要小得多。所有的混合名字都可以分为几类,其中最多的是拟人名字(婴儿名字,融合的名字和/或已婚夫妇的姓氏,角色的组合名字,由粉丝编造的等等)和地名。这种合并专有名称的方式在美国特别流行,尤其是州群和边境城镇的名称。尽管英语的例子普遍占主导地位,但俄语中也有一些混合昵称,其中许多是滑稽的,甚至是贬义的。少数混合名称是企业组织名称、商标名称和物质文化物品名称。我们是第一个单独挑选出一组节日名称的人。最常见的是一个词或两个词的剪短词干的融合,尽管也有重叠和插入的情况,以及由三个词干组成的混合。这篇论文将对词汇学家和象声学领域的专家都感兴趣,因为它涉及构词问题,因为研究的重点是专有名称。
