Abstract:
The article discusses several solutions that aim to reveal the direction of the dependence between the
components of the appositional construction. An emphasis is placed on the analysis of the most amorphous
and debatable structural type: common noun + proper noun. One of these solutions concerns the
choice of a basic research approach and its consistent and logically sound application, which would aid
the correct “distribution” of the syntactic functions of the components in constructions of this structural
type. The article draws special attention to the autonymic use of proper nouns. It is based on the premise
that the two components of this type of appositional construction can have a common reference, which
is a function of their different referential features and that these components contribute – to a varying
degree – to the realization of these features.
