Abstract

The article deals with the phenomenon of name-„mask” as the artistic technique in the arsenal of artistic poetics. Names– masks are not denotatively correlated with real people, but present some specific transformations of personal names in the literary text. Semantics of „mask” anthroponyms creates a certain „horizon of expectation”. With a semantic equivocation this kind of names not only calls the character, describes it but creates an onomastic space of the artistic world.
