Nomination in the aspect of J. Derrida's theory of proper names (based on the material of the epic poem Beowulf)
The paper describes the semiotic reconstruction of the transition of a proper name a common one. A proper name is initially presented as a definite historical and narration element and then some examples are given to demonstrate its transition into the group of common names that characterize culture and society. Proper names from the epic novel «Beowulf» serve as the base material for tracing and comprehending their transformation through the work «Around the Babylon Tower» by J. Derrida.
