The Surname of Shakespeare as an Example of Transferring the Inner form of the Name In Academic Prose
The paper represents the cases of interpretation and puns with the name of Shakespeare regarding the semantics of the Russian equivalents transferring the inner form of the name: Kop’ev, potryasayushchiy kop’em, potryasat’ kop’em, potryasatel’ kop’ya and its spelling in Russian. The research shows that expressing the characteristics implied by foreign names set in an appropriate context in Russian academic literature and literary criticism has had a long tradition which presupposes the necessity to render the meanings of the morphemes contained in the names of notable people.
