THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS OF PROPER NOUNS AND THEIR LEXICOGRAPHIC INTERPRETATION
Proper nouns represent a unique and complex category within linguistic systems, characterized by their referential specificity and cultural significance. This study explores the theoretical foundations of proper nouns and examines their lexicographic interpretation in modern linguistic practice. The research aims to analyze the semantic, functional, and structural properties of proper nouns, as well as their representation in dictionaries. Using a qualitative methodology grounded in linguistic theory and lexicographic analysis, the paper highlights the challenges and inconsistencies in defining and classifying proper nouns across languages.
