Abstract:
KATALIN RESZEGI, The psycho- and neurolinguistics of proper names. Aspects and
models of analysis on processing proper names
This paper provides an overview of the results of psycho- and neurolinguistic examinations
into the mental processes involving proper names (i.e. storing, processing, retrieving proper
names). We can denote entities of various types with the help of proper names, and although most
of these types are universal, there are in fact some cultural differences. In the fields of science
concerned, that is, in psycho- and neurolinguistics and in neuropsychology, attention is given
almost exclusively to anthroponyms; mental and neurological features of toponyms and other
name types are much less examined. Processing names is generally believed to display more
difficulties than processing common nouns, and these difficulties present themselves more and
more strongly with age. In connection with the special identifying function and semantic features
of proper names, many researchers assume that we process the two groups of words in different
ways. This paper, reflecting also on these assumptions, summarizes and explains the results of
research into a) selective anomia affecting monolingual speakers (word-finding disturbances); b)
localization; c) reaction time measurement; and d) speech disfluency concerning proper names
(especially the “tip of the tongue phenomenon”). The author also presents the models of
processing proper names, examining to what degree these models can be reconciled with our
knowledge of the acquisition of proper names. Finally, the results and possible explanations of the
small amount of research into the representation and processing of proper names by bilingual
speakers are discussed.
