Proper nouns and common nouns have the characteristic feature of them is reversed, that is the proper name can become a household name, and vice versa.This smallness is often misleading.Let's understand the intricacies, terms and details.
What is the common name?It is a noun denoting something.For example: a dog, a tree, a person, a table, and so on. D. A common noun, as opposed to their own, may be used in the plural and is written according to the rules of the Russian language.
What is the proper name?The most that neither is a conventional name or title.It can belong to a human or a dog, country or ridge, cake or magazine.All the same, to whom or what, the main thing that distinguishes this word object, creature, or something else of a number of others.For example: Guadeloupe (name of country), King Kong (the name of the monkeys from the same movie), Gennady Gennady G. (name, surname and patronymic, owned by one person).That is, all three examples are nouns own, despite the fact that some of them consist of several components.
What is the name of your own in terms of grammar?It is a noun that should be written with a capital letter, has no plural (except for names related to the group of persons (Smirnov, Kulikova.) In cases where the proper name is used in relation to the names of shops, hotels, newspapers, or the brand of the car, itshould be written also in quotes. For example, the plant "Progress". In this particular case, the word plant a noun common noun, and "Progress" noun own and is written with a capital letter in quotation marks, as is the name of the enterprise.
And now let's look at what the proper name of context? Often, just a noun. Let's take the previous example and consider the word "progress", signifying progress. In contrast to the previous phrase is now in the proposal, which it will mean direct his concept, it will benoun synonymous. Compare:
- I work at the plant "Progress" (proper name).
- In my work there has been progress (common name).
From the above it can be concluded that the word itself is rarely carries a clear notion of what is.You can understand the basis of the context, except for personal names.Although in some cases the name can not be the guarantor of what is their own noun, not a household name.For example, the name of faith.Compare:
- Girl Faith (proper name) left us.
- At the last moment the faith (common name) left us.
In the first case, a person eating a name, and the second term for confidence in anything.
At the end of the article I would like to tell you what the name of the property in terms of science.A huge "field" of study.The fact is that the proper name has a certain stability, which allows scientists to restore the historical facts, migration routes, settlement disappeared and more.Science, studying proper names, called onomastics.It is also worth noting the fact that proper names in English and in German, Portuguese or any other language of the world, having as the alphabet and differences between uppercase and lowercase, is also written with a capital letter.
