SPECIFIC NAMES IN MOVLUD SULEYMANLI'S NOVEL "KOCH"

After people began to form as a social being and to develop language and thus communication, they gave names to each other, to the objects they lived in, to the animals and birds they hunted and tamed, to natural and divine forces, to the plants and fruits they used for food, and so on. As their knowledge of life and nature expanded, such names also increased. Over time, some of the names became specialized and specifically indicated the named object, concept, or person, so they were accepted in linguistics under the term “proper names.” Proper names are the object of study of onomastics, a branch of linguistics. In fiction, writers use proper names to name a work, a place or institution in the work, or individuals. Sometimes, the author expresses a certain symbolic meaning through a proper name. Azerbaijani writer Movlud Suleymanli did not choose proper names by chance in his most famous novel, “Koch” (Migration). The article studies proper names in the literary language of the author's novel “Koch”.
