Abstrakt:The article discusses the problems of literary onomastics. The aim of the study was a structural, semantic and functional analysis of the family names of the protagonists appearing in Walenty Barczewski’s “Kiermasy na Warmii” (Fairs in Warmia). The story is set on a farm in a village in southern Warmia in the second half of the 19th century. The methods of philological analysis and interpretation of onyms used in literary onomastics have been applied. It has been established that the analysed onyms are Polish surnames, etymologically and semantically transparent, formed according to uniform structural models: male surnames ending in -ski, female surnames in -ska and collective forms used of families in the plural. All analysed anthroponyms were also closely related to the extra-linguistic reality, and derived, similarly to place-based adjectives, from the names of villages in southern Warmia. Linguistic, functional and semantic analysis of surnames allowed to present their polyfunctional character and distinguish many functions ascribed to onyms in literary texts. These functions are the following: identification and differentiation, localising, assignation of prestige and identity, as well as the sociolinguistic, emotive and persuasive functions. The analysed names may serve as examples of the accumulation of various functions performed by the same anthroponyms.
