ANTHROPONYM AS METAREPRESENTATION OF KNOWLEDGE

ANTHROPONYM AS METAREPRESENTATION OF KNOWLEDGE


Author:  O. V. Golubeva

Abstract
The paper covers the study of anthroponym-represented conceptual content formed within the cognitive cycle or the cycle of comprising knowledge of world and people and characterized by integrated, complex structure. The anthroponym does not only represent the knowledge (due to its being a unit of secondary representation) a person gains of the objective world but it also embodies information of any society member. Being included in the most extended collective conceptual space, personal name becomes a means of estimation, i.e. metarepresentation of knowledge obtained with cognitive processing.

Keywords:  anthroponym-represented conceptual content, collective conceptual space, metarepresentation of knowledge
