What's Behind a Name? Origins and Meaning of Some of the Recurrent
Yana Manova-Georgieva 2020, Vol. 17 (2), 165-176(284) South-West University Neofit Rilski, Bulgaria revije.ff.uni-lj.si/elope https://doi.org/10.4312/elope.17.2.165-176 UDC: 821.111.09-312.9Pratchett T.:81'367.622.12 What’s Behind a Name? Origins and Meaning of Some of the Recurrent Characters in Terry Pratchett’s Discworld ABSTRACT Nominative symbolism in fantasy is a tool to attribute certain traits to literary characters and thus to convey meaning which enriches the readers’ comprehension of the fictitious personality. Proper names in the English naming tradition are not generally seen as means of alluding to the character of a person, yet they have sometimes been chosen purposefully by writers so as to reveal the idea that a symbolic name tries to convey. The paper therefore aims at investigating the origin and author’s intended meaning behind the names of some recurrent literary characters in Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series from the viewpoint of their structure and the allusions they evoke in the reader’s imagination. The analysis includes five names presenting three different structures: neologisms based on syntactic composition, imitations of borrowed structures that are foreign to the English model of naming, and typical English naming models where name symbolism is due to the lexical choice of the components in the name. Keywords: onomastics, literary onomastics, proper names, allusiveness, literary names, charactonyms Kaj se skriva za imenom? Izvori in pomeni imen nekaterih likov v seriji romanov Plošča Terryja Pratchetta POVZETEK V fantazijskem žanru je nominativni simbolizem orodje za pripisovanje določenih lastnosti književnim likom, simbolni pomeni pa bogatijo bralsko dojemanje fiktivnih likov.

Re-read on Xmas! Little ' YES. What the hell. Oh, all right. The 20th Discworld novel is a festive feast of darkness and Death but with jolly robins and tinsel too. Suddenly Discworld's entire myth system is unraveling at an alarming rate. The Gaiters were having a dinner party. Quite ironic given how much Susan says she only wants to be 'normal'. P has said the city probably leans toward the early 19th century, he writes it a bit older than that and so this felt, as one person said, more like a Harry Potter than the Discworld. The guy from Hustle is great as Teatime and the girl from Downton Abbey perfect as Susan Death, and they both bring the two central characters to life in such a way that the book feels very flat in comparison but as a standalone Discworld novel on the nature of belief it's almost as good as Small Gods with the s I have seen the TV adaptation so many times, it's a Christmas tradition around here, that it is hard to separate my affection for the show with my affection for the writing of Pratchett. The midwinter holiday on Discworld is Hogswatch rather than Christmas, and the Hogfather is the Discworld's counterpart of Santa Claus.
