The study was undertaken in order to fill a gap in the field of literary onomastics, in which more attention has so far been paid to characters’ names than to place names, and within the research on toponyms no universal method has yet been proposed that could be used to study the functions of these names in any novel. The proposal of such a universal method would enable the further development of research within this topic and the comparison of analyses carried out based on this method. In the long run, it might also have implications for research in the field of translating toponyms in the novel. The starting point for this study is the theory of two acts (which uses the act of naming and the act of using a name). The functions of toponyms in the novel are divided into two groups: permanent and momentary. In the course of the analysis, the anti-didactic function, which has not been identified in any previous studies based on the theory of two acts, was recognised.

The novel is the third in the City Watch cycle and the paper is the third in a project devoted to the analysis of the whole series. The examination is based on the theory of two acts, an approach to the issue of functions of nomina propria in a novel which presupposes that an onym is a part of two wholes: the naming act and the act of using a proper name. On the basis of these two acts, two groups of functions are identified and defined (permanent and momentary). The ultimate goal of this study is not an analysis of this one particular novel and how it is influenced by the discussed functions, but putting the new literary onomastic theory to use and preparing material for comparative analyses of the functions in the original and those in translations into different languages. The aim of the whole project is to explore the nature of the functions and propose methods of translation that would preserve the functional stratum of onyms in translations of novels. The results of this study are used in another article to compare functions served by characters’ proper names in Feet of Clay and the book’s Polish translation.

To identify the said functions, she uses the theory of two acts. Her conclusions include two lists of functions that the proper names can serve. The first type of functions are served from the moment of naming and the other in individual uses of the names.

It is a methodological approach to the issue of functions served by characters’ proper names in novels. These functions can be served permanently or momentarily. The fist type of functions are identified on the basis of the naming act and the other on the basis of the act of using a name.

The study was based on the theory of two acts; it showed which functions were served by the examined proper names, how many names served individual functions and which functions were preserved, which were changed, and which were lost. The data gained from the study will be further used to advance the research on means of translating onyms in novels so as to preserve the functions served by them in the original.

Niektóre ze zbadanych chrematonimów pełnią jedynie swoją funkcję prymarną (identyfikacyjno-dyferencjacyjną), a inne również funkcje sekundarne. Wśród drugiej grupy funkcji wyróżniono funkcję semantyczną, lokalizacyjną, ekspresywną, poetycką, aluzyjną i impresywną. Niektóre z funkcji sekundarnych pełni wiele nazw, a inne tylko kilka. Najbardziej produktywnymi cechami motywacyjnymi dla zbadanych nazw okazały się cechy ich denotatów.

Guards! and in its Polish translation. The study is based on the theory of Two Acts; thus the naming act and the act of using a character’s proper name in the novel are created. Both the names that lost their functions and those which acquired new functions are indicated and the activities of the translator that led to these changes are identified. The most important findings include: the two sets of characters’ proper names (in the original and the translation) being different, a few names acquiring in the translation functions they do not serve in the original, and a few more nomina propria losing their functions in the translation. However, it is important that no role (permanent or momentary) is lost completely.

Ma na celu przedstawienie podobieństw i różnic w funkcjach pełnionych przez nazwy własne bohaterów w powieści Feet of Clay i jej polskim przekładzie Na glinianych nogach. Do przeprowadzenia analizy wykorzystano teorię dwóch aktów, która dzieli badane funkcje na stałe i chwilowe, w zależności od momentu pojawienia się i czasu trwania.
The article belongs to a series of works devoted to comparative analyses of functions served by characters’ proper names in the originals and Polish translations of novels from the City Watch Cycle written by Terry Pratchett. Its aim is to demonstrate the similarities and differences of functions served by characters’ names in Feet of Clay and its Polish translation Na glinianych nogach. The analysis is based on the Theory of Two Acts, which divides the examined functions into permanent and momentary. The classification of roles depends on the moment the function emerges and its duration.

Its main aim is to examine what happens with the functions served in the original and in the translation. Are they preserved, lost, changed or added? Moreover, the reasons for the changes are identified. The analysis is based on the theory of two acts (proposed in 2017), which divides the functions into two groups: permanent and temporary.

The goal of the project is to examine the functions served by characters’ proper names in individual novels and the cycle as a whole. The main aim of this article is to examine said functions in the first novel of the City Watch Cycle (part of the Discworld Series). For the theoretical background the Theory of Two Acts is used. Thus, the article discusses both permanent and momentary functions of the onyms. Later, the results of this article will be used to perform a comparative analysis of the functions served by the analysed names in the English novel and its Polish translation.

The study is based on the theory of " Two Acts " which divides the analysed functions into the permanent and the momentary. The first are identified, defined and discussed on the basis of the naming act in Men at Arms and the latter undergo an analogous process on the basis of the act of using a name in the novel.

The film trilogy (the second and third parts entitled The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, and The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies respectively) differs from the novel in a number of aspects, one of which is its onomastic stratum. The main aim of this article is to analyse the functions served by the characters' proper names in the novel and in the film trilogy and to compare these functions. The examination is based on the naming act in the novel, on the basis of which eight relations a name can enter into and thirteen roles it can serve have been identified. Abstrakt Siedemdziesiąt pięć lat po publikacji powieści Hobbit, czyli tam i z powrotem na ekranach kin pojawiła się pierwsza część jej filmowej adaptacji zatytułowana Hobbit: Niezwykła podróż. Filmowa trylogia (druga i trzecia część zatytułowane Hobbit: Pustkowie Smauga oraz Hobbit: Bitwa Pięciu Armii) różni się od powieści na wielu płaszczy-znach, w tym w warstwie onomastycznej. Głównym celem tego arty-kułu jest studium funkcji nazw własnych postaci w powieści oraz w trylogii filmowej oraz ich analiza porównawcza. Badanie zostało oparte na akcie nazewniczym w powieści, w oparciu o który wyróż-nionych zostało osiem relacji w jakie wejść może nazwa własna oraz trzynaście funkcji jakie może w tych relacjach pełnić.

Although this role was identified over half a century ago, it has not received scholars' attention and nearly no research has been done to advance its study. The onomastic material examined in this paper comes from the Harry Potter series and includes over one hundred and thirty nomina propria that serve the expressive function either from the moment of naming or in particular acts of using the name.
