In Venice the indication of surnames began in this time period, France (10th/11th century) and the German-speaking area (12th century) followed this example (Kohlheim 1996: 1280), so the common practice of naming changed and thenceforth people were called by both, forename and surname. This giving of names led to the science of onomastics - representing a separate discipline (Wittkowski 1995: 289) -, whose purpose basically is 'die Geschichte und den Gebrauch eines Namens zu kl?ren und m?gliche Schl?sse daraus zu ziehen' (Hansack 2004: 51), as the character of naming had caused people to think about the meaning of personal names for centuries (Eichler 1995: 2). Such name-interpreting can also take the role of a poetic device and by this means as literary onomastic (Hansack 2004: 51) function as a link between linguistic and literary studies bearing on 'the study of the way names function in fiction' (Ashley 1989: 198). The following term paper will take up this and consequently concentrate on the names of the characters in the TV series LOST. This idea came up after reading an article by Matthew Gilbert, who quoted Damon Lindelof - one of the makers of LOST - mentioning that not one name of the island's inhabitants was chosen incidentally but that every single name had a special meaning concerning the storyline (Gilbert 2005). Lindelof and co-producer J. J. Abrahams used 'names that gesture outward from the series' in a way that 'name[s] assists [the] definition of character[s], suggesting clues of [...] personality' and are an 'entrance to that what [they] represent[s]; direction; past, current or future position' (Rowden 2000: 115) and therefore played 'the name game quite shrewdly' (Gilbert 2005).</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
