Vehicle Proper Names (porionyms) as Factors of Literary Style and Social Semantics

Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: This article investigates the literary and stylistic functions of porionyms (vehicle proper names) as dynamic signifiers in narrative discourse. Positioned at the intersection of onomastics and sociolinguistics, the study explores how authors utilize porionymic units as a sophisticated stylistic shorthand to encode character identity, social stratification, and temporal settings. Through literary devices such as personification, metonymy, and psychological overcompensation, porionyms allow creators to externalize internal character traits and convey socioeconomic shifts without explicit exposition.
