The pragmatonyms on the basis of proper names are widely used in advertising for the formation of generalized positive image of domestic goods which act as a well-being integral part of the entire country. The function of analyzed units allows the nominator to characterize features of commodity, specify the producer, location of production, designate the target audience for its consumption, and transfer the unfamiliar product from the category of “alien” to the category “own”.
