Antroponimy w utworach kresowych Włodzimierza Odojewskiego i ich funkcje artystyczne
Anthroponyms in the Kresy works by Włodzimierz Odojewski and their artistic function

Summary/Abstract: In the article the author considers the anthroponyms occurring in three works constituting the so-called “Kresy cycle” by Włodzimierz Odojewski. The author presents the origin and etymology of examined names as well as their artistic functions. The surnames of people existing in the non-literary world in the Kresy trilogy have the function of locating in time and/or in space. When naming literary figures, Odojewski refers to authentic names and surnames that occur in the region where the action of his literary works takes place. The names characterize literary figures by their national, social and territorial origin (they have a sociological function). The non-authentic surname Czerestwienski condenses the sociological, content and symbolic functions. Furthermore, the literary anthroponyms in the trilogy have an expressive, intertextual and mythogenic function.
