Wieloznaczność a wielomotywacyjność, homonimia i polisemia antroponimiczna
Ambiguity vs multi-motivation, anthroponymic homonymy and polysemy

Summary/Abstract: In the cognitive theory of anthroponymic homonymy and polysemy, both the standard and the extended versions of the prototype were taken into account, and that made it possible to distinguish on a to-onymic plane name-forming homonyms, i.e. formally identical onyms belonging to one or several cognitive categories and name-forming polysemes, i.e. formally identical onyms that belong only to one cognitive category. According to the extended cognitive version of the prototype, proper names and appelatives focused under a single nomination label should be considered polysemic units. The term ambiguity has been recognized as superior, encompassing the phenomena of multi-motivation, anthroponymic homonymy and polysemy. The distinction between multi-motivation and anthroponymic homonymy or polysemy is possible on the basis of the semantic-referential criterion.
