The analysis of 734 Russian, English, Italian, French, German, Polish and Japanese lexemes nominating spacecraft,
spaceships, nuclear reactors and nuclear research facilities resulted in discovering three common ways in the process
of generating and functioning of chrematonyms in the professional discourse, including a lexico-semantic nomination
(formed by means of onimization of appellatives, transonymization of personal and precedent names, toponyms,
chrematonyms and cosmonims, deonimization); the word-formation considers the sound, syllabic and mixed
abbreviation, as well as the formation of compound words; the syntactic method involves the formation of simple and
complex substantive combinations of words. The authors conclude that chrematonyms as a class of onims have a
specific linguistic meaning, affecting the semantic generation of the proper name in an inanimate object of material
culture and emphasizing the unique and differential feature of the object and point to their specifically professional
linguistic feature: motivation, derivative character, terminological unity, and frequency of usage. The research
demonstrates the following special aspects of functioning of chrematonyms in the professional discourse: play on
words, allusions and metaphors, ameliorative and deteriorative connotative meanings, which reflect non-typical
processes for professional lexis and perform a peace-maintaining function of the language. |
