HOW WORDS BECAME NAMES, AND NAMES WORDS?

The modern name theory mainly focuses on the essence of proper names, the difference to appellatives, as well as on the formation of proper names from appellatives (proprialisation) and vice versa of appellatives from proper names (deproprialisation). The article deals with the questions: when is a name a proper name, to what extent does proprial lexis refer to an individual object in phrases, idioms and proverbs, when does it take appellative character and thus become a non-proprial word. Therefore, the article tries to link onomastic and phraseological studies, both applied in the Institute of Slavistics at the University of Greifswald.
