Artykuł przedstawia spojrzenie na zastosowanie terminologii onomastycznej jako działu onomastyki, który pozwala na kodowanie zjawisk i pojęć onomastycznych przy pomocy ujednoliconych formalnie i semantycznie terminów naukowych. Autor stawia jednocześnie tezę o interdyscyplinarności tego rodzaju terminologii. Z jednej strony interdyscyplinarność wynika z samego charakteru onomastyki jako nauki sytuującej się często na pograniczach różnych dyscyplin, z drugiej jest to także właściwość utrwalana poprzez zainteresowanie i „zewnętrzne” użycie terminów onomastycznych (w komunikacji specjalistycznej i ogólnej). W tym wymiarze dostrzega się również swego rodzaju aberracje i próby nadmiernego lub nieadekwatnego z ustaleniami onomastów użycia terminów nowych lub sugerujących nieprawidłowe koncepty naukowe. Jest to bardzo aktualna kwestia rozpatrywana w kontekście międzynarodowym z udziałem powołanych do tego instytucji, jak np. ICOS.

The article aims at analyzing the case of Beppe Grillo and his Five Stars Movement in terms of social, cultural and linguistic phenomenon that – initially as a virtual party without a structured organization – seems to conquer both right-wing and left-wing Italian citizens notwithstanding generational and ideological differences. The success of grillini (Grillo’s supporters) in the parliamentary election of 2018 as a consequence of Matteo Renzi’s constitutional referendum failure, represents a clear sign of the leadership crisis as well as the drifting apart of the ruling class that ignored the problems of ordinary people for several years. The analysis is focused on both form and content: on the one hand, the artistic expression characteristic of Grillo, his gestures, mimicry and direct language plenty of verbal hyperboles, rhetorical figures, swearwords and blasphemous obscenities that build his uncompromising charisma, on the other modern technologies and social media (including blogs, forums, profiles) that are used to communicate efficiently with the electorate, create an image of an open-minded politician keeping up with the outer world. All the aforementioned circumstances demonstrate an innovative approach based on political communication that devolves some level of decision-making power to the party supporters being active web users: bloggers and influencers at the same time. Such paradigm is followed by other representatives of the Italian political scene nowadays.

L’autore dell’articolo si concentra sui problemi che riguardano il coronimo Italia e il suo equivalente nella lingua polacca, Włochy. Descrive i significati e le ipotesi sulle etimologie del coronimo dal punto di vista sincronico e diacronico. Confronta l’uso delle varianti Włochy e Italia in polacco con riferimenti culturali all’origine delle due forme risalenti all’antichità prelatina, nel caso d’Italia, e a quella germanica e slava, nel caso di Włochy, confuso spesso con il suo paronimo Wołochy. Segnala la problematica della transonimizzazione del coronimo Italia nei processi della formazione di antroponimi e crematonimi e del loro funzionamento pragmatico nella comunicazione. Estrae un campione di antonomasie classiche e nuove del toponimo Italia. Nel caso di queste ultime si tratta, nella maggior parte delle occorrenze, dell’assegnazione delle valenze stereotipate all’immagine racchiusa nell’antonomasia in forma di slogan pubblicitari evocativi.
