Abstract:The work concerns the possibility of using onomastic instruments for researching the imagery of Old-Polish. One can observe the potential of proper names that is useful in describing the complexity of Medieval Polish, especially that there are few texts written in Polish remaining from the Middle Ages. Proper names, due to their semantic potential of connotations and their many functions, may be analyzed in various contexts, which is helpful in the analysis of medieval language. The author attempts to highlight a few selected problems concerning the relationship between onyms and the imagery of the Old-Polish language. The observations were conducted taking into account the semantic potential of proper names as well as their function in co-creating various discourses and styles.
