Summary: This theoretical paper gives an overview about how proper names and different name types exist in the mental system, also showing new solutions provided by the cognitive perspective in connection with old questions of name theory. Cognitive onomastics is a relatively new approach to the study of proper names based on a cognitive approach to language. In this framework, names as linguistic elements are parts of the cognitive system, thus mental representation and usage of proper names can be described by general cognitive processes. The overview of topics and directions of cognitive onomastic research shows that studying names and naming in a cognitive framework has a lot of potential. Providing further evidence of the advantages of the cognitive approach, the paper discusses two controversial issues of name theory. First, the meaning of proper names is addressed from a cognitive perspective, pointing out the complex meaning matrix of this word class; then the categorization of proper names is discussed, i.e., how the networks and subnetworks of names emerge within the mental lexicon.

A onomástica cognitiva está baseada numa abordagem cognitiva da linguagem é uma abordagem relativamente nova para o estudo de nomes próprios. Nesse contexto, os nomes como elementos linguísticos fazem parte do sistema cognitivo, motivo pelo qual a representação mental e o uso de nomes próprios podem ser descritos por processos cognitivos gerais.  A visão geral dos tópicos e direções da pesquisa onomástica cognitiva mostra o potencial do estudo dos nomes próprio e da nomeação considerando sua estrutura cognitiva. Além de fornecer mais evidências das vantagens da abordagem cognitiva, o artigo também discute duas questões controversas da teoria do nome. Primeiramente, o significado dos nomes próprios é abordado a partir de uma perspectiva cognitiva mediante descrição da complexa matriz de significados dessa classe de palavras; em seguida, discute-se a categorização dos nomes próprios, ou seja, como as redes e subredes de nomes se elevam dentro do léxico mental.Programa de Pós Graduação em Letras -Linguagem e Sociedade2023-04-06info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer ReviewedEvaluado por los paresÉvaluation par les pairsAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttps://e-revista.unioeste.br/index.php/onomastica/article/view/3058910.48075/odal.v4i1.30589 Onomastics from Latin America; Vol. 4 No. 1 (2023): Onomástica desde América Latina ; 1-32Onomástica desde América Latina; Vol. 4 Núm. 1 (2023): Onomástica desde América Latina ; 1-32Onomastique depuis l'Amérique Latine; Vol. 4 No. 1 (2023): Onomástica desde América Latina ; 1-32Onomástica desde América Latina; v. 4 n. 1 (2023): Onomástica desde América Latina ; 1-322675-2719reponame:Onomástica desde América Latinainstname:Universidade Estadual do Oeste do Paraná (UNIOESTE)instacron:UNIOESTEenghttps://e-revista.unioeste.br/index.php/onomastica/article/view/30589/21806Copyright (c) 2023 Katalin Reszegihttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessReszegi, Katalin2023-09-26T16:00:54Zoai:ojs.e-revista.unioeste.br:article/30589Revistahttps://e-revista.unioeste.br/index.php/onomastica/PUBhttps://e-revista.unioeste.br/index.php/onomastica/oaimarcia.seide@unioeste.br || projeto.saber@unioeste.br2675-27192675-2719opendoar:2023-09-26T16:00:54Onomástica desde América Latina - Universidade Estadual do Oeste do Paraná (UNIOESTE)false
