NAMING HUMANS WITH NAMES OF ANIMAL WORLD IN ALBANIAN LANGUAGE

Summary/Abstract: The object of the present article is specifically the names of people with names of wildlife, who, within the macro field of names of people according to physical and moral features as a whole, form a lexical-semantic field that carries some general features: a) is unified from the lexico-grammatical, lexico-word-forming and lexico-semantic point of view; b) has internal systemic ideographic connections both from the point of view of the source of the names, as well as from the point of view of marking and characterization, according to a regular typology; c) has undergone semantic developement and movement that can be described and sistematized into larger semantic categories. The main purpose of the article is to look at the whole lexical field of the names of people with wildlife names to see more closely and in depth all the semantic development that have occurred in it by analyzing especially the metaphorical blocks that are created, along with other semantic blocks, within the semantic structure of words, but we have called them here metaphorical, to show that the semantic derivation of the nouns we are talking about has based on the metaphor, as one of the main transplants on the basis of which these names have been reinterpreted thus obtaining figurative meanings that characterize people according to physical and moral features.
