Sažetak
The paper proposes that the cognitive structure underlying the use of a proper name comprises three layers. The first layer is a schematic conceptualization that is activated by any name: it is a schema of an unspecified single entity (prototypically: a physical object) picked out as distinctive in its class for a variety of reasons. The second layer is the background domain or domain matrix that encodes the conceptualization of the kind of entity that the name names. It will be shown how a name can shift its reference from the named entity as a whole to certain aspects of it in accordance with the structure of the domain or domain-matrix. Some aspects of an entity are usually conceived of as more essential to it than others, and this is exhibited in the behavior of the name. Discourse-level manifestations, having to do with pronouns and tenses in sequences of sentences, will also be considered as support of the claims about the relation of names to background domains. The third layer is the mental file containing information specific to the entity named. Several kinds of information that the file contains will be adduced, and it will be shown that the content of the file is responsive to the structure of the background domain or domain matrix. The information in the file will also be shown to be explanatory of shifts from names to general terms and vice versa based on metaphor and metonymy.
