Masking names in Joachim Lelewel’s emigrational letters written to friends

Summary/Abstract: The topic of this paper are masking names referring to anthroponyms, social ideonyms, and also toponyms excerpted from Joachim Lelewel’s emigrational correspondence. The use of the masking names being analysed is principally motivated by political and social circumstances. Sometimes, the use of certain types of terms (mainly initials and syllabonyms) may be determined by the economy of language. The language material of the concealed propria are proper and common nouns. Name‐making mechanisms include relations between a name and a name, and also a name and a designate. The secret names encountered most frequently are cryptonyms, including acronyms. Among the masked proper nouns, pseudonyms (this function is fulfilled by names, surnames, nicknames, ethnonyms, toponyms and appelatives) are clearly dominant.
