Sažetak
We have assumed that nicknames, the pragmatic supra-names created by
methods of meaning transfer, are in fact figures for general culturally, ethnically
and historically marked lexemes. Nicknames are, namely, formed on the basis
of three logical-semantic relations: similarity or analogy, correspondence or contiguity
and the overlapping of the referent and the lexical content. The source of
motivation is not (most frequently!) in the form of the lexeme, but in the content
of the appellative and the situation in which the content has come to the foreground.
A nickname as an onomastic sign assumes certain characteristics of a
common noun (Judas = traitor), but it does not completely lose its basic function
of naming, i.e. identification.
