Summary/Abstract: The aim of the study is an assessment of the possibility of semantic categorisation of common names and proper names in a disturbed discourse. The study used a case-experimental approach. The results were analysed qualitatively and quantitatively. The best-preserved semantic relations were indicated and phenomena relating to the quality of access to the mental dictionary were determined. The symptoms of the degradation of the semantic dictionary were indicated. The quantitative assessment included a percentage description of the results obtained. The subject performed the process of semantic categorisation of proper names (names belonging to less fuzzy categories) better than common names (with numerous connotations).
