SEMANTIC-CONNOTATIONAL TRANSFORMATIONS OF AN ANTHROPONYM IN THE FRENCH ARGOT

Abstract

The article examines and analyzes the means to use anthroponyms as the common names in the French argot. The paper aims to describe linguistic nominations re-interpreting the meaning of a proper name and to examine the variants of attributing the certain connotational meaning to them. The research findings allow concluding that, coming into a certain linguistic stratum (in this case - low argot vocabulary), re-interpreted anthroponym changes its semantics fixing the new meaning, and later on can become a valuable linguistic symbol of the behaviour of the certain culture bearers.
