Abstract
This paper examines metalinguistic negation of proper names on the data from the Russian National Corpus, including its pragmatic functions, its performance with regards to other cases of metalinguistic negation, and the opposition between explicit and implicit use of the metalinguistic predicate. The data showed that the speaker's most common aim is to reject a particular representation of the name owner in favor of another representation. Next, we discovered that metalinguistic negation is more natural in corrections of content ascribed to speaker than in reactions to a preceding interlocutor's comment. Finally, the metalinguistic predicate of naming can be expressed not only lexically, but also be part of the meaning of some syntactic constructions.
期刊介绍：
This journal is unique in that it provides a forum devoted to the interdisciplinary study of language and communication. The investigation of language and its communicational functions is treated as a concern shared in common by those working in applied linguistics, child development, cultural studies, discourse analysis, intellectual history, legal studies, language evolution, linguistic anthropology, linguistics, philosophy, the politics of language, pragmatics, psychology, rhetoric, semiotics, and sociolinguistics. The journal invites contributions which explore the implications of current research for establishing common theoretical frameworks within which findings from different areas of study may be accommodated and interrelated. By focusing attention on the many ways in which language is integrated with other forms of communicational activity and interactional behaviour, it is intended to encourage approaches to the study of language and communication which are not restricted by existing disciplinary boundaries.
