Reproductive Means of Modern Perm Nicknames Creation

Abstract

The article is about modern nicknames of the Perm territory inhabitants which serve as a source of linguocultural information. On the material of nicknames, determined by the color of hair, the reproductive means of corresponding anthroponomination creation are considered. Such means are communicative fragments (according to terminology of B.M. Gasparov, complete segments of speech, which a speaker is able to directly reproduce as a ready-made unit in the process of his communication, the units a speaker immediately recognizes in the utterances he gets outside), precedent texts (facts of individual, social or national group culture, cultural properties of the human community as a whole, regularly reproduced speech segments that possess permanent associations and that are capable to being reinterpreted, i.e., reconsidered, given new meanings on the basis of the original ones) and normative-usual models (according to terminology of L.A. Kadzhaya) of creating nicknames. There can be some similarities and differences in the ways of giving nicknames to different people - Russians and Komi-Permians, who have lived together for a long period of time in the Perm territory. The conclusion reads: people gain and master their language experience through the process of creating nicknames.
