Abstract

The paper aims to describe the ways of interpreting anthroponyms in aphorisms constructed as a definition and similar in structure to a dictionary article. The study reveals that in aphorisms-definitions, frequency anthroponyms (individual proper names), which are not included in the dictionaries of explanatory dictionaries, are used as heading units. A large illustrative material shows that within the explanatory part of the aphoristic definitions for the characteristic of anthroponyms, non-traditional ways of interpretation for lexicography are actively used. The author suggests a classification of methods of naive interpretations of anthroponyms depending on the semantics of the main word in the explanatory part: a) false-hieronymic; b) evaluative; c) hyponymic; d) repetitive-distinctive; e) formal-signal. The compositional and syntactic organization of the explanatory part is complicated by detailed definitions, which are expressed by different grammatical means; they are located in pre-and post-position in relation to the main word of the explanatory part; they add additional meaning, emotional tension and reflect the author's position. The results obtained may be of interest to specialists dealing with the issues of aphorism, onomastics and lexicography.
