Prototypical function of poetonym: idiostyle of G.R. Derzhavin

INTRODUCTION. The relevance of the study of the works of the great Russian poet G.R. Derzhavin, whose state activity is associated with the “Tambov period” in his poetic work, consists in the development of literary Tambov onomastics. The onomastic space of the poet's works reflects the cultural context of the Russian language, culturally marked proper names that perform the communicative function of the language, without which adequate communication between representatives of contacting linguacultures is impossible. The purpose of the study is to reveal the prototypical uniqueness of a proper name using the example of the poetonym Plenira in the works of G.R. Derzhavin.

MATERIALS AND METHODS. The research material was the poems of  G.R. Derzhavin, which present the anthroponym Plenira, reflecting a bright poetic image and symbol of love and loss of a beloved woman in Russian literature. The study used a descriptive method, which consists in the consistent collection of anthroponymic material used in the works of G.R. Derzhavin; contextual and stylistic analysis, semiotic approach.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION. Using the example of the anthroponym Plenira, an idea is given of the prototypical function of the anthroponym, which is fundamental when considering the name of a character in a literary text.

CONCLUSION. It has been established that the prototypical function of literary anthroponyms, closely connected with the thinking and mentality of a native speaker of Russian, contributes to the deepening of the theory of the functional potential of onomastic categories, rather than other functions of onyms.
